The UN Project at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ IDEAS has launched the video series .
The nine-part series, supported by ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s Knowledge Exchange Impact Fund, builds on existing work to understand and improve the impact that business has on local communities. The videos cover stories from Buriticá in Antioquia, Colombia and from communities near the Firestone rubber plantation in Liberia.
The videos, which feature community leaders, research workers and facilitators, put a spotlight on the challenges in the interaction between communities and companies, and in doing so illustrates the reasons why a new approach to addressing these complex challenges is needed.
The Human Security Business Partnership Framework, pioneered by ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ IDEAS in collaboration with the UN, is designed to foster multi-stakeholder cooperation between the private sector, local communities and other stakeholders. It can be applied in different contexts and provides a method for implementing and guiding multi-stakeholder collaboration to establish positive and durable relationships between key actors, no matter how different they are.
