SNV Working Approach
• Major Focus- capacity development of meso- level
organisations (it does not mean that we do not work with
micro and macro)

PSD and Pro-poor Value Chain
The private sector can play
key role to economic
growth:
 By developing innovative
and affordable products
 By promoting social and
ecological standards
(labels created by such
initiative (e.g. FLO,
IFOAM) act as credible
marketing tool)
IB: Linking low income groups with Business
◦ serving the BOP as clients and customers and
involving them as supplier, employees or
entrepreneurs and consumer or distributor
