Nexus fully understands the private sector participation as a key to sustaining development outcomes. The private sector plays a major role in achieving the sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Business engagement and impact are far from becoming mainstream in many development activities. Private sector engagement anchors its foundation on recognizing the value of engaging the private sector in development assistance to help shape solutions that achieve sustained impact and can carry forward long after support has ended.
The private sector can play a vital role in filling gaps in responses, while supporting longer-term capacity-building of local actors and building resilience.
Nexus’s Key Interventions in Private Sector Engagement:
-
Nexus utilize Market-based approaches and use business models and markets to solve development challenges more efficiently and sustainably (e.g., by engaging beneficiaries as customers, devise ways for business associates: suppliers, agents, or distributors, to gain improved incomes and opportunities).
-
Nexus also focuses on enterprise driven development means with the private sector as co-creators of market-oriented solutions.
-
Nexus provides services that enable a local system to produce desired outcomes over time by availing resources from development partners necessary to produce outcomes. Nexus also engage in programs that contribute to sustainability which strengthen the ability to produce valued results, to generate or attract needed resources, and be both resilient and adaptive in the face of changing circumstances.
Micro and small enterprises account for the bulk of employment generation in developing countries, even in middle-income ones. Nurturing, investing and helping enterprises has a role to play in facilitating job creation led by the private sector.
Nexus provide services in the following areas:
-
