Promoting Inclusive Growth Through Business Development at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP)
A Project Note paper from Asian Development Bank (Project Note for the revised ADB TA No.6518-REG) titled PROMOTING INCLUSIVE GROWTH THROUGH BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AT THE BASE OF THE PYRAMID.
The revised regional technical assistance project
"9. Goal, purpose, and objectives: The objective of the revised project is to help develop
viable BoP enterprises in selected Asian countries. The expected impact of the project is
creating a whole new class of private equity funds looking at BoP enterprises to play a stronger
role in promoting inclusive growth in the region. To this end, the project will (a) analyze the BoP
market in the 6 selected Asian countries (mapping exercise); (b) analyze how such potential
cooperation could promote inclusive growth, and develop ex-ante impact assessment; (c)
facilitate partnerships with private sector and development finance institutions to better serve
the BoP market (feasibility studies); and (d) facilitate ADB's private sector operations and publicprivate
partnership modalities to increasingly support BoP enterprises (promoting investment
opportunities in a BoP fund). Appendix 1 shows the project structure, and Appendix 2 comprises
the design and monitoring framework of the project."
This paper actully refers to Business Innovation Facility!
"The project will also cooperate – where appropriate - with other development organizations.
For example, DFID just launched its "Business Innovation Facility" covering also Bangladesh
and India27, and in Viet Nam the project will closely cooperate with the Making Markets Work
for the Poor (M4P)28 joint DFID-ADB initiative."
