UNDP work on domestic PSD – a brief overview From ROAR 2004
  • This review of PSD activities at country level is based on the ROAR database 2004. There are 32 countries that have done activities regarding PSD.
  • The service line 1.5 accounts for the lowest percentage, seven per cent, of the total outcomes in the poverty practice. About 40 per cent of activities under this service line are devoted to supporting policies or laws for socially and environmentally responsible private sector development and about another 40 per cent is devoted to policies or legislation favoring MSMEs. The residual activities, which are related to strategies for inclusive financial sectors, belong with microfinance activities under service line 1.3.*
  • The activities focus on policy advocacy, capacity-building, access to finance and investment.
  • There are 15 countries and at least 18 initiatives focus on policy advocacy. 9 countries among the 15 fully achieve their goals.
  • There are 18 countries and at least 21 initiatives focus on capacity development. 11 countries among the 18 fully achieve their goals.
  • There are 7 countries focus on access to finance and investment. 4 countries among the 7 fully achieve their goals.
  • In addition, there are 2 countries and at least 3 initiatives address networking and knowledge management; the initiatives in 3 countries relate to CSR; 5 countries are involved in Global Compact.
  • Most of the activities are meso-level interventions, which are directed at capacity-building of intermediary institutions and CSOs partners that support coordination among partners and bridge government and the private sector.
    • Macro level interventions address the macroeconomic policies, rule of law, and infrastructure at national level.
    • Micro level interventions are activities that are directly related to the private sector itself, such as the activities that aim to support individual firms to access capital, techniques, and knowledge.
