The Committee has recently started work on an own-initiative report entitled "Private sector on Development". According to the rapporteur, MEP Nirj Deva (ECR, UK), "the report aims to review and contribute to the design and implementation of the new policy framework initiated by the Commission Communication on 'A Stronger Role of the Private Sector in Achieving Inclusive and Sustainable Growth in Developing Countries'".

A workshop with experts and stakeholders was held on 5 March 2015. The Committee vote on the report is planned for 1 December. The rapporteur is seeking inputs via Parliament's LinkedIn group.
