Investment Stakeholders’ Networking Lunch

This networking lunch will bring together participants attending the WIF 2012 in a more informal setting to find ways in which they can work together. At each table will be a mix of investors, policymakers, negotiators, investment experts, investment promotion agencies, academia and civil society. The lunch will be structured around a menu of questions for thought to provide a stimulus for discussion.

Questions for discussion

• What do you see as the most important challenges and opportunities for increased investment in sustainable development in the poorest countries over the next 10 years?
• What future policy initiatives at the international level do you believe would be most important for the goal of promoting investment in sustainable growth and development?
• What could be done to strengthen partnerships among the investment stakeholder community to promote investment for sustainable development?
