Launch of the Regional GIM Report, Business Solutions to Poverty – How inclusive business models create opportunities for all in Emerging Europe and Central Asia
The Regional GIM Report, Business Solutions to Poverty – How inclusive business models create opportunities for all in Emerging Europe and Central Asia, has been officially launched on 11 March 2011 by Helen Clark, the UNDP Administrator, and Kori Udovicki, Regional Director for UNDP Regional Bureau for Europe and CIS, in Istanbul, Turkey.
“Business Solutions to Poverty” is the first report that applies the concept of inclusive business models to the region. The report is built on the analysis of 19 specially commissioned case studies of businesses in the region that have successfully implemented an inclusive business model. It provides empirical evidence of the opportunities and challenges of developing inclusive businesses in the region, as well as highlights solution strategies used by successful businesses, and the resulting benefits to people, planet and profit.
