What are the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)?
In September 2000, member states of the United Nations ratified the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), adhering to
eight specific targets and milestones in reducing extreme poverty and worst forms of human deprivation by 2015.
Why are the MDGs important to business?
“Providing health services, nutrition, education, water, sanitation and so on will unleash poor people’s
energies and encourage stronger societies and economies that can actively participate in the global
economy. Supporting the Millennium Development Goals is therefore good for business.”
Mark Malloch BrownAdministrator, United Nations Development Programme“Business and Poverty: Bridging the gap,” The Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum, 2002

How Business Developed the Agenda for Action?
In January 2004, PBSP, NEDA and UN took the initiative to organize a square-table discussion on the MDGs bringing business,
civil society, government and donor agencies together to assess the country’s performance, identify gaps in MDG attainment
and pinpoint factors that hinder progress in target setting.
The results —� Organized the Business and MDG Advisory Committee, Core Team and Program Management Team
as lead advocates
� Established MDG Clusters on Poverty, Education, Health and Environment
� Identified strategic action points and programs for business support

A Brief on Business and
MDG Programs
The Area Resource Management (ARM) Program is a
participatory and integrated approach to poverty reduction and
area development. It organizes poor communities and helps them
gain access to livelihood, basic infrastructure and social services,
new skills and technologies, credit and markets. It is being
implemented in 275 barangays of 72 municipalities covering 10
provinces nationwide. Companies can adopt ARM in their
respective areas of operations.
The Social Entrepreneurship Program was conceptualized
to make sources of funds immediately available to fund MDG
projects and ensure its sustainability. A Socio-Entrepreneurial
Venture (SEV) can be characterized by the following: any ongoing
or start-up business which makes sources of funds immediately
available to sustain MDG projects; sources of funds for direct use
on projects are not dependent on livelihood projects, donations,
sponsorships, fund-raising campaigns that are ‘optional’ and irregular; availability of funds is continuous; success of SEV is not
dependent on operations of CSR projects; sources of funds from SEV may be allocated for multiple projects.
The Small and Medium Enterprise Credit (SMEC) Program provides
micro small and medium enterprises in the countryside access to medium and long-
term credit, leading over time, to an increase in productivity, employment and
income. SMEC embraces the idea that assistance to the Micro and SMEs is an
effective and viable method of increasing employment and incomes especially in the
country’s rural areas.
The Corporate Volunteers for Enterprise Development (CVED)Program extends business advisory services to strengthen micro and small
enterprises (MSEs) with the help of volunteer business advisers. CVED engages
individuals, either employees from the business sector, the academe or retired
professionals, to volunteer their time and expertise to guide and assist MSEs in
addressing a specific business need or improving a certain aspect of their businesses.

Key Steps for Business to Support the MDGs
Step 2: Choose an MDG Program
a. A company may choose from the list of proposedMDG programs under the four Clusters: Poverty,
Education, Health and Environment for easy reference.
A Program Brief can be found on pages 8-12. The
Business and MDG Investment Portfolio (see inserts)
also contains other relevant information such as:
components, cost, program implementing partner
(PIP), and measurement indicators.
Accomplish Statement of Interest Form found in the
Business and MDG Investment Portfolio. Return signed
form to PBSP to facilitate the program implementation
and for monitoring purposes.
b. A company may opt to initiate an MDG program that
is aligned to the proposed priority programs.
Step 3: Modes of EngagementAs the Secretariat, PBSP will broker agreements on details
of implementation between the company and the PIP.
Companies may opt to designate PBSP as fund manager
(for programs not implemented by PBSP) in which case the
Foundation will extend necessary services. If a company
opts to work directly with the PIP, PBSP will only be
involved in brokering agreements between two parties.
Step 4: Program ImplementationCompanies can work closely with a PIP or as maybe
necessary with the local government units or other
sectors.
Step 5: Monitoring and ReportingPBSP, as the secretariat, will undertake monitoring and
reporting of companies that implement programs aligned
to the MDGs. A database will be developed to facilitate
this process using the indicators identified by each of the
MDG Clusters. On page 14 is a tool for monitoring and
reporting that companies supporting the MDGs (through
the MDG programs or otherwise) can use in reporting
their initiatives. Reports should be submitted every
second week of October to prepare for the Philippine
Business and MDG Report at the end of the year.
Step 1: Review the Business and MDGStrategic Action Points vis-a-vis CSRobjectives or Vision-Mission-Goals-Objective (VMGO)It is essential for a company to choose a program that is
aligned to its CSR objectives. For guidance, read on the
Business Framework for Action on page 4.

Why talk about business and poverty?
Poverty attacks the foundations for healthy business: an expanding customer base, a stable and safe environment, and a reliable,
healthy and efficient workforce. Endemic poverty stuns the growth of local enterprises and makes investment unattractive, as a result
ensnaring the poor in the trap of underemployment and lack of access to essential and enabling goods and services.
