Promise and Progress for Market Based Solutions in Africa: New report in Gateway

A new report "Promise and Progress: Market-Based Solutions to Poverty in Africa" has just been added to the Resource Gateway.

The report, published by the Monitor Group, is a comprehensive analysis of financially sustainable enterprises that address challenges of poverty in Africa and the outcome of a 16-month research project on the operations of 439 enterprises in nine sub-Saharan nations, enterprises which are active in 14 sectors and seek to use market mechanisms to improve the lives and livelihoods of people living at the bottom of the economic pyramid.

The full report is long (over 200 pages), but the executive summary of the report (28 pages) highlights well keys points.
