Uncovering the Inclusive Business potential

Subsegments : AFRICA, ASEAN, other Asia

Landscape studies are the first projects to embark on the Inclusive Business journey. Currently they were conducted on a regional-, country-, or Thematic specific level. IBEE.NET now offers even regional-, or district level assessments. To mitigate high costs at the onset of embarking on your Inclusive Business journey, scoping missions are another great way to start.

Since 2012 countries engage in comprehensive IB market scoping studies. More recent studies also assess the enabling environment for IB and develop recommendations to governments for a strategy to promote IB
