UNDP Growing Sustainable Business for Poverty Reduction

The GSB initiative engages the private sector in innovative partnerships grounded in market-based incentives, to accelerate progress towards the MDGs. Business-led enterprise solutions to poverty are challenging and are often perceived as representing unquantifiable risk and additional costs to business, causing potentially interested investors to place opportunities on the "too complicated" pile. The value proposition of the GSB to business is to help address these challenges at relevant points in the investment cycle and thus reduce the risks and costs associated with the investment. Programmes in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, El Salvador
Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malawi, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, Tanzania, Turkey, and Zambia.
