De VN-Algemene Vergadering heeft een Israëlisch–gesponsorde resolutie over “Ondernemerschap voor Ontwikkeling” in de Derde Wereld goedgekeurd:
By a vote of 129 in favor, 31 against and 9 abstentions, the UN General Assembly adopted an Israeli-sponsored resolution on Entrepreneurship for Development in the developing world. [Bron: Mfa.gov.il]
The resolution is designed to advance entrepreneurship as a catalyst for development, and calls for the creation of conditions favorable to entrepreneurs, education, and removing bureaucratic impediments to the establishment of businesses.
This is the first time that the United Nations adopted a resolution on the subject of entrepreneurship as a new means to meet the challenges of poverty and to create growth and jobs. Israel initiated and presented the resolution as the head of a group of almost 100 nations.
