Corporate social responsibility programmes is expected to emerge as the largest development support activity in the next decade. The corporate sector and the implementing partners are improving upon impacts delivery, using innovative thinking and outreach strategies. Starting from a simple donation design, the sector has grown today into a multi-disciplinary and a more complex field of development support, in the recent past. For a very young sector, it is yet to identify and focus on key areas for support (for example, agriculture and natural resources) so that the impacts are well distributed and long term.
