Aims & Objectives: BP4C is a community/private/public partnership,
which is supported by key institutes in Birmingham. This is a strategic initiative which will target the whole of Birmingham. Our key aims are:

• To provide strategies for responding to the particular needs of the African & Caribbean communities.
  
  
• To develop a shared agenda between the African & Caribbean community, Public Institutes, and the Private Sector, as to how to increase the number of African & Caribbean entrepreneurs, manages and professionals.
  
  
• To develop a policy framework which can be applied to reviewing current activities and developing new ones in the areas of education, enterprise, employment and training.
  
  
• To share accountability between all partners for actions and outcomes.
  
  
• To develop a partnership to fully exploit the regional reorganisation in government departments, to secure adequate resources for these issues.

Partners of BP4C include Council of Black Led Churches, Society of Black Lawyers, Learning & Skills Council, and Connexions.

All objectives which arise out of these aims will be time limited, concrete and measurable, with the primary focus of making lasting changes in mainstream institutions.
