Strengthening Markets through Collaboration: a new guide by Business Fights Poverty

Small Foundation are delighted to share new research by our partner Business Fights Poverty in conjunction with Endeva. 

Strengthening Markets through Collaboration is a guide that helps large companies identify how they can help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to thrive and build high performing value chains in developing markets. The report identifies opportunities for joint action, bringing together the dynamism of local enterprises and the scale of large businesses and corporations. We believe that the guide is a useful tool and a call to action for large businesses, SMEs, intermediaries, governments and funders alike.  

This topic was one of many covered in the recent Business Fights Poverty online conference. You can access recordings from the entire conference here (Digital Pass required)  

Small Foundation hopes that in the future large businesses, SMEs, intermediaries and other stakeholders will work ever closer together to achieve social impact and financial returns.
