Dr. Linda Kleemann - Social business – a new private sector contribution to development

Dr. Linda Kleemann, Researcher at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy and Managing Director PEGNet (Poverty, Equity and Growth Network), spoke 13 March 2014 at the Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Development Debate "Social business - a new private sector contribution to development."

Dr. Linda Kleemann made three points:

1. It's an exciting global phenomenon and a potential resource to overcome social and environmental problems.
2. There are lots of risks and limitations involved - most importantly, it takes time and access to finance to build up social business.
3. How do we figure out which businesses have a social impact and how can we measure this?
