Resources, Information, Exchange to build sustainable markets that work for the poor

In order to improve the understanding and uptake of market development approaches and to consolidate existing experience, DFID and SDC have 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. This paper - M4P Perspectives (pdf version is attached) - introduces the conceptual underpinnings of M4P and explores its application in different fields including finance, agriculture, water, labour and climate change. The other two papers: Synthesis of the M4P approach and The Operational Guide to M4P are also available elsewhere on this site.
