Introduction
This popular international course is an introduction to how markets can be used as tools to alleviate poverty in a sustainable manner. It introduces participants to the conceptual frameworks related to the market-economic domain of development. These can be used to identify smallholder inclusive development opportunities.
The course provides practical tools and instruments to develop appropriate interventions. The subject will be addressed through three interrelated questions. First, how can the poor effectively engage in market development? Second, how can their products be tailored and the product flows adapted to better access markets? Third, how can institutions accommodate this inclusive development process best while considering cross-cutting issues like, for instance, gender and equity? The course supports policy makers, development practitioners and professionals of service providers, including research and educational organizations, in their changed roles as market facilitators.
