Corporate partnerships
The private sector has a critical role to play in reducing poverty
The world’s poor come into contact with markets and companies as producers, workers, entrepreneurs, neighbours or consumers on a daily basis. That’s why we partner with private sector companies to co-create opportunities for poor and marginalised people to have better access to goods, services and livelihoods – and on fair terms.
We recognise that building such models is not easy. Inclusive business models which deliver economic growth and positive results for poor people require the trust of local communities and deep knowledge of development issues.
Our extensive experience creating innovative and strategic partnerships with private sector companies uses combined expertise and resources to create large-scale sustainable poverty-fighting projects, benefiting both companies and the lives of millions of people across the world. As women are more likely to be poor and marginalised, we focus on them as it leads to better business and development returns.
