International development conference, London, 20 November 2008

The fourth International development conference—organised by PricewaterhouseCoopers in association with a number of private sector, NGOs and academic partners—took place in London on 20 November 2008. The conference, entitled Lessons from the front line, examined the lessons learned from recent and current public sector reform programmes.

Each year, this conference succeeds in bringing together public, private and voluntary sector practitioners who work with development aid agencies to improve governance in developing and transitioning countries. The ultimate goal of the conference is to draw lessons from the implementation of development programmes, share innovative responses to potential challenges and improve project delivery.

Broad themes to be addressed at the 2008 conference included:

  • Climate change;
  • Fragile states;
  • Transparency initiatives;
  • Fund management; and
  • Private sector development.
