Commonwealth Development Corporation
(asked on 30th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, whether her Department's Partnership Principles apply to the Commonwealth Development Corporation.
This question was answered on 5th December 2016
The Partnership Principles are largely focused on our assessment of, and work with, partner governments and are not directly relevant to CDC, which invests in the private sector not governments.
In countries where DFID has a country office, CDC and DFID liaise, consult, and share knowledge in a mutually agreed manner on the sectors and/or industries in those countries, states or territories which have the greatest developmental need.
