'The United Nations system was a pioneer in the field of technical cooperation, and capacity development is its central mandate. UNDP has long played an important leadership role in both, as a source of technical cooperation funds and advisory services and as the home of innovative intellectual research and analysis on how to make them more efficient and effective. This book [presents] a vision that builds on new possibilities for knowledge-sharing, for which the revolution in information and communications technologies offers ample opportunities... a vision that is firmly founded on genuine ownership by the ultimate beneficiaries of development efforts: the government and citizens of developing countries' From the Foreword by MARK MALLOCH BROWN, Administrator, UNDP Capacity for Development brings together innovative and well-supported studies of technical cooperation along with its potential to build sustainable capacities in developing countries, by enhancing the knowledge, skills and productive aptitudes of their populations. A team of eminent development professionals and economists examine the achievements of technical cooperation and offer recommendations for reform in the context of globalization, democratisation, the information revolution and the growth of capacities in the South. They analyse the issues from three perspectives: ownership, capacity enablers and knowledge. The team show how the complex processes involved can be restructured to produce local involvement and empowerment, set out a normative framework for the input from society, and describe a new paradigm of knowledge for capacity building in the network age. This book will be essential reading for all development professionals and policy-makers, as well as providing an invaluable research and teaching resource.

Globalization and the professionalization of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) have led to a surge of CSR activities claiming to support development across the globe. In this two volume series, the chapters explore this claim through nuanced debate about the potentialities, limitations and threats of development-oriented CSR in the developing world at both the global and local levels. Volume 1 explores whether there is a genuine possibility for corporations to contribute to development through CSR activities. With corporate reach spreading into every corner of the globe, this is a timely contribution presenting cases from developing countries spanning multiple continents. It explores the multi-level and multi-stakeholder dynamics involved in shaping the complex interface between multinational corporations (MNCs) and possibilities for CSR-related development. The chapters highlight the potential for MNCs to spread best practice and complement the role of governments in bridging governance gaps and spearheading capacity building efforts. But they also highlights serious reservations, stemming from isolated assessments, limited appreciation of the complexities of context, and the permeation of a northern agenda that marginalizes local voices.Within the larger debate on the merits and evils of globalization, this volume captures the mixed record of MNCs in promoting effective development in those parts of the world where it is most needed. This important series will be the reference source for academics, practitioners, policy-makers and NGOs involved in development-oriented CSR.

The last decades have witnessed profound changes in the nature of production in the Asia-Pacific region as multinational corporations (MNCs) have pursued complex, cross-border production and distribution systems. This process has precipitated the integration of the APEC region through the emergence of global supply chains and global value chains. Increasingly connected global supply chains have created new opportunities for businesses, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing economies of the region, as they become important suppliers for MNCs. However, the development of unprecedented levels of cross-border production sharing has also brought new challenges for both business managers and public policymakers. In particular, the rise of corporate social responsibility (CSR) standards has created a new set of challenges for SMEs linked to global supply chains. A complex, multi-layered set of CSR standards concerning socially and environmentally sustainable business practices have been developed at international, national and local levels. An increasingly large number of MNCs have also started to demand that suppliers comply with corporate codes of conduct. The proliferation of CSR standards, global buyers' requirements of supplier codes of conduct throughout their supply chains and various monitoring and audit mechanisms have created challenges for SMEs which tend to lack the capacity and resources to comply with new requirements. As the uptake of CSR has become a prerequisite to enter global supply chains in the region, SMEs which are unable to adopt CSR practices have been excluded from global supply chains. SMEs are drivers of sustained economic growth in APEC economies. Building CSR capacity of SMEs for their effective participation in global supply chains is thus an important challenge many APEC members face. The objective of this paper is to examine and propose the ways in which APEC can assist SMEs in the region to build the capacity to adopt CSR practices and to improve linkages with regional and global supply chains. CSR has emerged as an APEC agenda only recently and has not been given top priority so far. Furthermore, the initiatives of APEC so far have largely relied on CSR capacity building in a narrow sense. While capacity building of enterprises to adopt CSR is essential, its effectiveness can be limited without a supporting policy or regulatory environment.

* A refreshing study of capacity building through various local perspectives* Includes studies from Mozambique, Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Haiti, and GuatemalaStrengthening local capacity is more difficult than one might expect; there are significant trade-offs between outsiders providing assistance in the midst of an emergency, and encouraging the building of long-term local skills. By critically examining the dilemma from local perspectives, "Patronage or Partnership" finds genuine hope amidst the prevailing rhetoric and confusion.

The Role of Multinational Enterprises in Supporting the United Nations’ SDGs is an exploration of the place of the private sector in implementing select Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond the abundant literature published by the United Nations and journal articles, there are few book-length treatments of the unique role that multinationals play as facilitators of goal implementation and agents of change. This volume aims to stimulate debate and research on MNEs’ best practices, fleshing out many of the seventeen goals through the lens of corporate strategic choices.
