Market approaches that work for development - how the private sector can contribute to poverty reduction |
Three ways to deliver aid more effectively
Market approaches to development described on this website involve the private sector in three ways to deliver aid more effectively:
1. Private supply chain development: by creating a market for products and services that are relevant to poverty alleviation such as latrines, mosquito nets or safe water treatment systems
2. Value chain development: by linking small farmers to value chains that allow for higher incomes and better livelihoods
3. Transforming industries: by making entire industrial sectors more sustainable such as cleaning up the Asian brick industry.
The approaches described here in theoretical and practical terms are follow-up studies of the original book "Poverty alleviation as a business - the market creation approach to development" by Urs Heierli and Paul Polak
