The Market Development Facility, an Australian Government funded initiative, aims to:
Create additional employment and income earning opportunities for poor women and men through
broad-based and sustainable pro-poor growth.
Make rural and urban sectors of the economy in which the poor are involved as producers and workers,
more competitive and making them grow.
Trigger lasting, 'systemic' changes in the markets systems around these sectors to reduce constraints
to growth and to increase their capacity to innovate and deal with competitive, regulatory, social and
environmental pressures, so that the benefits for the poor will sustain and expand in time.
The Facility is committed to implementing a systems approach to stimulate pro-poor economic growth:
Rather than working with the poor directly, the Facility seeks to develop partnerships with players in the
private and public sector with the ability and leverage to trigger lasting systemic changes that create
broad-based, sustainable pro-poor growth.
With each partner, the Facility designs and negotiates detailed action plans, which include clear
financial and resource commitments, to arrive at appropriate, innovative and sustainable solutions.
These partnerships and plans are called interventions.
Sector players take the lead in implementing the interventions and the Facility's role is limited and short-
term.
