Best Practices in Investment for Development

Abstract

The Investment Advisory Series provides practical advice and case studies of best policy practice for attracting and benefiting from foreign direct investment (FDI), in line with national development strategies. The Series draws on the experiences gained in UNCTAD's capacity and institution building work in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. The Investment Advisory Series consists of Series A and Series B. Series A deals with issues related to investment promotion and facilitation and to the work of investment promotion agencies. The publications are intended to be pragmatic, with a hot-to-focus, and include toolkits and handbooks. Series B focuses on case studies of best practices in policy and strategic matters related to FDI and development arising from existing and emerging challenges.
