Skip Navigation LinksHome - Item
Deadline: 01-12-2011 Location: Kosovo Back


Background

Growing Inclusive Markets (GIM) is a UNDP global initiative which facilitates business-led solutions to poverty in advancement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This initiative supports the projects aimed at the pro-poor investments that accelerate and sustain access by the low-income and socially excluded population to affordable goods and services, and to employment and livelihood opportunities - through job creation and small enterprise development, including value chain development. Inclusive markets include the poor on the demand side as clients and customers, and/or on the supply side as employees, producers and business owners. The benefits go beyond immediate profits and higher incomes. For businesses they include driving innovations, building markets and strengthening supply chains. And for the poor they include higher productivity, sustainable earnings and greater empowerment. GIM investment projects align commercial benefits of business partners with local economic development needs and are carried out in multi-stakeholder partnerships. The investment projects are in sectors which are the drivers of economic growth and which have direct impact on poverty reduction and sustainable development.

In a nut shell, the GIM objectives are:

     - To support pro-poor investment aimed at sustainable employment opportunities
     - To link poor into supply chain, as providers of raw materials, skills, labor
     - To include women within these supply chains, wherever that is possible – to enable them to generate higher income and support their
       families
