In each issue, PS&D compares the views of experts in different fields: researchers, private sector’s professionals, development institutions and civil society. The aim of the Private Sector & Development magazine is to share know-how and best practices and boost sustainable development by encouraging private investment. The magazine spotlights the experience of Proparco, its networks and its private-sector partners.

“By publishing, comparing and analyzing the ideas and experiences of investors who are directly involved in development issues, the Proparco's Private Sector & Development magazine aims to create a community of private-sector stakeholders whose investments are helping to improve the living conditions of people over the long term.”
