How Private Sector Development leads to Pro-Poor Impacts: A Framework for Evidence

 
While various pieces of evidence on the results of private sector development (PSD) do exist, they have not yet been integrated in a systematic way to make a strong, research-backed argument for PSD as a core element of development strategies, and to highlight areas where more research is required.

This framework for evidence represents a structured approach to organise the available research on results in PSD. It is designed as a results chain which illustrates how PSD practitioners typically expect their work to lead to pro-poor impacts.

The evidence framework functionality is not currently available on the mobile site. Please refer to the non-mobile site to view the evidence framework.
