A Synthesis of the Making Markets Work for the Poor Approach (2008)

In order to improve the understanding and uptake of market development approaches and to consolidate existing experience, DFID and SDC commissioned a series of three documents on M4P. Aimed at agency and government officials, consultants, researchers and practitioners, these together provide a comprehensive overview of the approach in theory and practice. The first of these documents, the M4P Synthesis paper (PDF version attached), explains the essence of the M4P approach – its rationale, including evidence of impact, and key features in implementation. The other two documents: M4P Perspectives and the M4P Operational Guide are also available to download from this site.
