LONDON � Can the world's problems be solved by business/NGO partnerships? A recent World Economic Forum - Global Corporate joint statement said that citizenship efforts should move 'beyond philanthropy' and be integrated into core business strategy and practice.

However, business can't go it alone. Ninety percent of corporations who responded to a World Economic Forum survey said they need civil society to address development challenges.

On March 28 and 28, London will play host to a stimulating forum on business/NGO engagement, a subject that is gripping the minds of global opinion leaders while simultaneously rocketing up the corporate and civil society agendas.

Over 30 expert speakers from across the partnerships' spectrum will advise companies and NGOs on the prerequisites for successful engagement. "
