Indeed, the United Nations system has been working with the private sector in different ways since its creation 70 years ago. Engagement has ranged from traditional consultative and procurement arrangements, which have been in place since the founding of the UN in 1945, to new types of cooperation in the past couple of decades. These have ranged from the development and promotion of global norms and responsible business standards to the joint design, financing and implementation of projects on the ground.Technical Report
