Sustainable economic development

Area Sustainable Economic Development aims to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable producers in developing countries. The primary focus is on stimulating pro-poor growth in rural areas while supporting social equity, environmental sustainability and sound economic development through action research policy development and training. We connect people in producer to consumer chains for natural resource-based products and function as a matchmaker between producers, trading partners, investors and their respective organizations.
