February 2009
CIDA and the Promoting and Protecting Children who Work Project (PPIC-Work) hosted a workshop on the theme of Human Rights (HR) and Private Sector Development (PSD).

Presentations included CIDA Egypt’s experience with Human Rights Approach to Development (HRAD) programming, the recent discussion paper by The North South Institute (NSI) on Human Rights and Private Sector Development; and the results from several CIDA and non CIDA private sector programs in Egypt. Participants included representatives of the Egyptian private sector as well as Egyptian and international development agencies.
