KBP is committed to an economic development approach that promotes changes in market systems ensuring the poor benefit from economic activity. Our bottom of the pyramid value chain approach links small businesses and producers to the financial and technical services that allow them to compete in local and global markets. Desired outcomes include identification of constraints and opportunities along the value chain and within the business environment to increase the competitiveness of an industry as a whole. KBP works to provide insights into consumer needs in poor societies and links the private sector with commercial opportunities in these communities.
