Creating value for all: strategies for doing business with the poor (pdf 2.6 mb)

This report is the first in a series to advance UNDP's efforts to turn their Growing Inclusive Markets Initiative (aimed at utilizing private sector investment and innovation to achieve MDGs) into action through dialogue with the private sector, government and civil society.

It draws on 50 case studies, writing and reviews of private sector's role in development, and demonstrates the effectiveness of more inclusive business models.

The report provides an overview of inclusive business models, how these can both produce and reap the benefits of human development and how the featured case studies promote progress against each of the MDGs.

A Growing Inclusive Markets strategy matrix shows how featured businesses used common patterns to overcome constraints using five core strategies. The report gives further detail to its call to action, ie for business leaders to develop inclusive business models by responding to local conditions.
