Waiting for your writing ...here,private sectors are profit oriented as they have to maintain a large number of employees...without government support.I think if government cooperates a lot,private sector can definitely initiate some programmes for the welfare of masses.

I think you're right, @momi5 - certainly there is a spectrum among private companies operating in Africa. Some operate purely in the interests of their shareholders, but that tends to be an unsustainable model here as stakeholders find ways to have influence over corporate decision-making. As we've discussed before, leadership in both the public and private sectors can play a pivotal role. There is no reason to believe that helping to address inequality is bad for business!
