Transformational Leadership Wanted

March 17, 2017 by Anna Nadgrodkiewicz Leave a Comment

Transformational Leadership Wanted

In today’s world of polarized politics, divisions within societies struggling with the history of divisions feel particularly deep. Countries emerging from conflict, such as Colombia or South Sudan, are striving to make progress toward non-violence and reconciliation. Even in peaceful, mature democracies, the public discourse has become more partisan and polarized than ever. As countries look for transformative leadership to overcome divisions, they struggle with building effective coalitions that could overcome differences and find consensus in key areas.

Improving Public-Private Dialogue and Empowering SMEs in Jordan

JCIBy Anan Zeitoun 

 

Though Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) is by no means a new concept in Jordan, it has in recent years seen an uptick in interest as a means for promoting private sector potential in Jordan’s economy. Properly-implemented PPD can lead to better, more appropriate legal regulations, and increase private trust in public institutions.

 

Building on the success and conclusions of the first SME Regional conference, The Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) organized the 2016 conference with the theme “empower SMEs .

Introducing the Mangystau Economic Council,  a new PPD in Kazakhstan

kazhakstan

Kazakhstan is a vast country (the ninth largest in the world) that is strategically located in Central Asia. It borders include Russia and China. Along its Western border, where the Caspian Sea meets the dessert, is the small port city of Aktau. This city is the capital of the oil rich region of Mangystau. Like many oil rich countries, the decline in the price of this commodity has resulted in revenue short falls that have impacted economic development and, consequently, employment.

Nordic management – the Arabic way

The Executive Training Program in Denmark engaged Arabic Leaders with the ’Danish model’ where keywords such as trust, motivation, empowerment, and individual freedom were on the agenda.

By Mette Grangaard Lund

The quiet, countryside castle Skjoldenæsholm from the 14th century located between light green trees and the rolling hills of yellow cornfields is a stark contrast to the busy and bustling metropoles of Cairo, Beirut or Riyadh. Nonetheless, this was the destination for reflection and learning where executives from business organizations from nine different countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region participated in the Executive Training Program from 9th-13th of May 2016.

This latest blog post should start with a mea culpa. Indeed, my 2015 work plan for public-private dialogue (PPD) did start in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, not Copenhagen. However, who can swear that he never tweaked a title a tiny bit to make it catchier?

While Dushanbe hosted the very productive First Regional PPD Forum in the “stans,” the 8th Global PPD Workshoptook place in March in the Danish capital.

“The work of development is too important to be left in the hands of governments alone. It is the responsibility of everyone. Especially the business community.” This was Betty Maina’s main point in her speech last week at the 8th Private-Public Dialogue (PPD) Workshop in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The workshop explored how the government, private sector, and civil society organizations can effectively use PPD platforms for collaborative governance and leadership in addressing difficult challenges.

Strengthening Economic Growth Through Public-Private Dialogue

March 20, 2015 by Center for International Private Enterprise

Fostering a strong competitive market requires the private and public sectors to understand each other’s needs. In any country, entrepreneurs look for ways to make their businesses successful while the federal and local governments deliberate how they can boost the economy by providing loans for businesses or building up infrastructure. Developing solutions to such questions involve facilitating effective public private dialogues (PPD).

At the 8th PPD Global Workshop in Copenhagen, Denmark – which was co-organized by the World Bank Group, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Confederation of Danish Industry – over 300 participants from civil society organizations, companies, governments and development partners from 54 countries came together to share their experiences with PPDs.

By Kirby Bryan

For sustainable economic growth, developing countries must have the capacity to functionally interact with the global market. Much of the onus for building that capacity rests on a domestic commitment to reforms compatible with global trade. Many emerging markets have lofty aspirations that are unachievable given the current state of affairs, but are determined to rectify the situation. Access to foreign markets can cement reform efforts aimed at improving the local economy and sustaining economic growth.

Public-Private Dialogue: The Key to Good Governance and Development

February 9, 2015 by Center for International Private Enterprise

Originally posted at CIPE Development Blog

An increasing number of policy and governance challenges around the world demand private sector participation to generate viable solutions. Such challenges include poverty reduction, inclusive growth, government accountability, business integrity, national competitiveness, innovation, and access to opportunity. Although the obstacles to dialogue can be high, the value of dialogue is now widely recognized by governments and business leaders alike. Notably, the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, Korea, recommended that countries embrace “inclusive dialogue for building a policy environment conducive to sustainable development.”

The stakes are high in Yemen’s ongoing political transition, but recently the Yemeni government and private sector took steps to ensure that this transition will lead to greater security and opportunity for all Yemenis.

Yemen’s recent history has been marked by popular demand for better governance and a more democratic policymaking process. This demand has been seen from the 2011 popular uprisings, to political demonstrations, grassroots activism, and widespread participation in the National Dialogue Conference.

The private sector is a key actor in efforts to promote economic growth, reform the business climate, and strengthen democratic policymaking worldwide. Businesses possess the know-how to analyze economic conditions and identify obstacles and opportunities for growth, while governments have the means to pass business-friendly legislation.

From a democratic point of view, a vibrant private sector contribution to dialogue expands participation in policymaking and civic engagement in governance, improves the quality of business representation, and supplements the performance of democratic institutions.

When the public and private sectors work together to implement necessary economic reforms, entrepreneurs, businesses and citizens benefit from a more prosperous and vibrant democracy. Businesses possess the know-how and detailed knowledge of economic conditions, obstacles, and opportunities for growth, while governments have the means to pass business-friendly legislation. Public-private dialogue helps these two groups work together to arrive at effective policy solution.

Moldova’s National Business Agenda Network (NBA), comprised of more than 30 business associations and chambers of commerce from across the country, positioned itself as a key stakeholder in policymaking.

Public Private Dialogue on Policy for Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

March 18, 2014 by Center for International Private Enterprise

Here at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Moscow, everyone is sold on the importance of creating entrepreneurial ecosystems. There is no shortage of ideas for doing this, and the quest has risen to the level of public policy. As Jonathan Ortmans has noted, governments are now interacting with grassroots networks that are driving bottom-up ecosystem building.

Entrepreneurship advocates should pay close attention to the sphere of public-private dialogue (PPD) as a powerful means for cracking the ecosystem code in each community.

Effective legal and regulatory reforms are key to improving governance and creating an entrepreneurship ecosystem conducive to economic growth and shared prosperity. Yet in many countries passing and implementing new laws and regulations remains a top-down process that receives little input from stakeholders who are directly affected.

All too often such reforms, even if they appear promising, remain on paper only since they lack broader ownership and support.
