Abstract: During the past two decades, advances toward a
truly global economy were driven by the role of Multinational Enterprises (MNE). The progress in Foreign Direct Investment
(FDI) has raised many controversies in the ways these foreign investors conduct
their businesses in the developing countries.
More attention has been given to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
in developing countries. Despite such
attention, Africa is much less represented than any other continent. MNEs, which embark on FDI, are faced with an
important decision on how to enhance CSR in order to reduce poverty in their
host countries. The authors reviewed peer-reviewed literature exploring FDI,
CSR and how FDI contributed to the reduction of poverty in the African
developing countries of Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon.
