Market access for sustainable development

Market access for sustainable development

This international course is an introduction to how markets can be used as tools to alleviate poverty in a sustainable manner. It aims to assist finding answers to two interrelated questions. First, how can the poor effectively engage in market development? Second, how can their products better access markets.

The course follows a modular approach in which concepts and relevant frameworks of analysis are presented and practiced. The development of action plans and a case based in-course publication form an integral part of the course's curriculum. Interactive and experienced-based training methods based on the principles of life-long learning are used in the course while the knowledge of the participants is taken as a starting point.
