I've recently come across several reports written by Linda Mayoux that may be of interest to readers of this blog, particularly those looking for a better understanding of how to go about establishing cross-sector partnerships aimed at pro-poor enterprise development. 

The first - "Marrying Jekyll with Hyde? Transnational Enterprises, Pro-Poor Development and Sustainable Ethical Learning" - discusses the challenges of bringing together NGOs, unions and other civil society organizations with the transnational corporations they monitor and lobby, in order to establish meaningful cross-sector partnerships aimed at creating sustainable pro-poor development.  The paper focuses on recent innovations which can contribute to a key element in seeking constructive ways forward: the building of a participatory ethical learning process which can increase trust, transparency and mutual accountability.  The paper was originally commissioned for EDIAIS.
