SWEDISH EMBASSY NOTES PRIVATE SECTOR IMPORTANCE IN DEVELOPMENT


The Swedish Embassy says the private sector plays a critical role in poverty reduction in developing countries such as Zambia.
This is according to the embassy’s Development Analyst, Nina Strandberg.
Ms Strandberg says the private sector brings about innovation and sustainable solutions into the work of poverty reduction.
To this effect, she has explained that the embassy has been prompted to assist the country to achieve this important goal by partnering with the private sector.
She has stated that this is through the opening of a facility to assist businessmen financially upon approval of their business proposals.
Ms Strandberg was speaking in Kitwe today during the launch of the application cycle of the Swedish programme.
