Sectors
- Agriculture:
- Taking a comprehensive approach to increasing efficiencies along entire value chains from crop production through strengthening market linkages, building input supply networks, promoting enterprise growth and development, enabling agribusiness financing, and improving processing and post-harvest handling. We also strive towards quickly improving the productivity and profit margins of large numbers of smallholder farmers.
- Environment and Energy:
- Promoting sustainable use and management of natural resources to support the food and income needs of growing populations and the health of the planet. Activities encompass a broad range of programs and services, including clean energy, ecosystem services, and forestry and natural resource management.
- Tourism:
- Tapping into the opportunities inherent in tourism value chains, our programs use an integrated, cross-sectoral approach with host country ministries, associations, chambers, NGOs, and both large and small businesses, to stimulate sustainable economic growth, job creation, environmental practices, and social and cultural preservation.
- Trade and Investment:
- Helping businesses become more competitive, from interventions affecting national policy to coordinating industry-wide activities, and consulting by providing workshops and training at the firm level. We explore ways to penetrate global markets, enhance quality, increase sales, attract investment, apply new technologies, and create jobs. We often work through and with business support organizations such as chambers of commerce and trade organizations.
