Business Fights Poverty is a network that looks at the role of business/investment/enterprise in fighting poverty.  We believe that it is time the discussion about development in Africa moves beyond humanitarian aid.  How does the economy grow (or shrink) in the U.S. - through charity and aid or through business, entrepreneurs and trade?  Why do we expect economic principles to be different in Africa?  There is obviously a huge role for business in Africa with regards to development, especially African businesses and Western capital.  Check out their website for lots of information and to join their mailing list to get updates on workshops, seminars, important developments...
