Simon is currently moderating four sessions for Business Action for Africa. 

The 2009 series 'Harnessing the Power of Business for Development Impact' concluded that doing good business is very often the most powerful and systainable way to reduce poverty.  To read Simon's summary of the lessons learned, click here.
