The participation of the business sector in development processes in order to achieve the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) is a concept already fully accepted, and currently seeking to develop and define mechanisms to facilitate such participation through public-private alliances for development. However, the processes of post-conflict reconstruction face a series of particular challenges in the Spanish case, especially for private sector participation, a recent endeavour.
In the framework of an overall research on the participation of private economic actors in the processes of post-conflict reconstruction and development, this work focuses on a preliminary review of the guidelines and public policies for the processes of post-conflict reconstruction and development of the Committee on Aid to development of the OECD, the European Union and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation to Development to first identify to what extent the participation of the business sector is taken into consideration and, secondly, what mechanisms facilitate such participation.
