Southern Africa Regional Plan
6.3 Private sector
As drivers of economic growth, businesses are important actors in the achievement of sustainable poverty reduction. As well as working with policy makers to enhance the policy environment for growth, DFID-SA also engages with private sector players to support innovation in their practices that will benefit poor people. DFID-SA’s FinMark programme for example recognises the need to increase poor people’s access to financial services, to enable them to participate in the benefits of growth.
