UN Technology Bank leads focus on technology transfer to LDCs at WAITRO Summit – Nanjing, China
Jean-Marc Champagne, Principal and Managing Director Seneca Impact Advisors Limited shared his views on how to get business involved in delJivering solutions for least developed countries. He said: “In order to make the private sector thrive, you have to have the right government policies in place. Because if you don’t have that, then the private sector is going to be treading water and not making a lot of progress.” He cited the example of Seneca Impact Advisor’s work in Laos PDR that focused on coffee production as a strategy for diversifying the economy and generating export revenue in a climate and ecologically friendly manner. He underscored the importance of adding value to exports, such as processing coffee beans instead of exporting them raw as way to enhance productivity and economic gains.
