Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of American participation either. I hate to have to tell you that, but it is true. The program that my colleague, Mr. Eaton, described, where a mining company got together with CIDA, is one that the United States has as well. It's called the Global Development Alliance.
You do find private sector companies partnering. They tend to do it in areas that are going to be directly related to their business model, because that's what the shareholders are going to want to see a return on investment for. For example, Coca-Cola has a Global Development Alliance project where they participate in developing water resources in several countries, water being a key part of their business model.
In the longer term, companies tend to invest and participate in countries where they're invested—that only makes sense—or where they think they're going to be invested. When you're talking about a country like Haiti, for example, it's going to probably have to be largely governmentally funded programs, although there are some private sector companies. There's an American chamber in Haiti, small but there, that has been involved in some initiatives over the years. But to really create the platforms to do this—to try to answer your question as to how they can create those incentives—is the key reason they held this private sector forum in Busan during the OECD-UNDP Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, and they have committed to creating a platform. That work is just now beginning. The first working group meeting, I believe, is not until March. But they have committed to try to build the architecture to put that in place.
I am still somewhat skeptical that there will be a large participation of the corporate sector in countries where you don't see a large amount of foreign direct investment. When you put on your shareholder hat or your pension hat or your other hats, you say to yourself, what do I want my investment to go for? I want it to go into places where I'm getting a return on that investment.
The chamber does have another affiliate called the Business Civic Leadership Center. When I go to their conferences and programs, it's largely the corporate social responsibility arms of American companies that participate in that. That's pretty much their model. That's what they're focusing on.
