Sustainable development requires the collaboration of governments and donors in effective partnership with NGOs, civil society, and particularly the private sector.
PricewaterhouseCoopers, with its global network of locally owned and resourced organisations, is fully committed to development partnerships. We connect global knowledge and local experience, enabled by appropriate strategies and technology, to provide sustainable development solutions. A power sector restructuring team in India, for example, could include a power economist from Kolkata, privatisation experts from Australia, information technology specialists from Bangalore and a community participation specialist from Sweden.
Knowledge is now as important as cash in the pursuit of successful development solutions. We bring deep capabilities, experience and insight, as well as fresh perspectives, from around our global network—or around the corner—to development initiatives.
