The world has achieved substantial progress on reducing poverty since the launch of the Millennium Development Goals over 15 years ago. However, extreme poverty remains high, particularly amongst those also facing discrimination due to gender, ethnicity and disability. Recognising this rising economic gap and related exclusion of marginalised groups, there has been a renewed global emphasis on ‘Leaving No One Behind’ - a central commitment of the Sustainable Development Goals, agreed to by the world’s leaders in 2015. However, what is the role of markets in including and benefitting the most marginalised? And what does it take to create inclusive markets that leave no one behind?
This webinar will explore these questions through the concrete experiences and lessons learnt from working with highly marginalised groups through markets. It will draw on 22 market-based examples that have been building confidence, creating more profitable, predictable and diverse income sources, challenging cultural biases and supporting enabling legislation, and which were included in recent research by ADD International, the Coady International Institute and the Institute of Development Studies.
