Description
While the whole site is dedicated to M4P principles, this entry provides a comprehensive introduction to a wide range of links and documents relating to Making Markets Work - in most cases, explicitly for the Poor. It is being constantly updated, and additional suggestions for content and links are welcome; for the time being, it is the most popular entry on the site.
Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) is an approach to poverty reduction that donors such as the Department for International Development (DFID), Swedish Sida and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) have been supporting over the past few years. The central idea is that the poor are dependent on market systems for their livelihoods. Therefore changing those market systems to work more effectively and sustainably for the poor will improve their livelihoods and consequently reduce poverty.
"The last few years have seen an upsurge of interest in market development approaches amongst aid agencies. Alongside M4P there is UNDP's Growing Inclusive Markets, the IADB's Opportunities for the Majority and the IFC's Next Four Billion. Amongst businesses, there is growing interest in social investment, sustainable business practices, fair trade and engaging with the Base of the (Economic) Pyramid. Although terminology and emphasis may differ, all of these approaches see a market-based economic engagement with the poor as essential for sustainable development." (M4P Synthesis, DFID/SDC)
