Our economic development programme is focused on improving livelihoods – from the poorest producer, his/her family and community through to the employees of larger enterprises.
It is inclusive., enabling even small enterprises to participate in the brand benefits of international commerce, and as part of a programme of general economic development and sustained improvement in livelihoods.
It can therefore improve both the effectiveness and the speed of development partners’ work.
Any organisation involved in improving livelihoods and in making exports more profitable for producers can benefit –
Political Leaders, Public Sector Officials, Development Partners, Donors/Aid Organisations, National Business Organisations, Investors; Nations, Regions/Provinces, Cities.
The only requirement is that participating producers and enterprises adopt and integrate the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility into their practices, as we integrate them into the brands that they will sell more profitably than ever before.
Why the emphasis on ‘profit’? Because achieving higher profits – or even just profits – means improved income.

Well, we have so much to say to you it’s hard to know where to begin. So, instead, we will summarise. An arm's-length investor in a mine has radically different requirements of TNC from the investor in a retail chain or a food production facility. The first really needs to engage us to provide advice about … More…
REGIONS/STATES, CITIES
The power of the region. It may seem like a paradox. Often, the region or the city may have a more powerful and much more coherent image than the nation-state. The Mekong Delta could resonate more strongly than Vietnam itself. The USA has a strong national identity – but so do Las Vegas, Chicago, California and Texas. More…
