Many developed-country governments see a fundamental role for the private sector in advancing the sustainable development agenda (SDGs). Others are more skeptical and prefer companies to focus on doing their core business responsibly. Development partnerships with private businesses remain controversial. This course seeks to increase the participants’ understanding of the multifaceted and complex relationships between governments, private sector and civil society. It equips participants with the knowledge and tools required for an effective interaction between private sector organizations and development actors, and to assess both opportunities and risks of such cooperation. Further, the course enables participants to contribute to policy debates on the role of private sector actors in development.Key Topics

Der Kurs «Aktuelle Entwicklungsdebatte» setzt sich 2019 mit der Frage der Politikkohärenz für nachhaltige Entwicklung auseinander. Die globalen Nachhaltigkeitsziele (SDGs) können nur erreicht werden, wenn internationale, nationale und lokale Politikbereiche kohärent zueinander agieren. Die Realisierung der Ziele der Schweizer IZA ist nur möglich, wenn ihre Massnahmen und Instrumente nicht durch andere Politikbereiche unterlaufen werden. SDG 17 fordert eine Verbesserung der Politikkohärenz für nachhaltige Entwicklung. Ist diese Forderung realistisch? Was bedeutet sie für die strategische Ausrichtung der Schweizer IZA?Inhaltliche Schwerpunkt
