Dimensions of opportunity

Leading and learning
across four dimensions

We are forever evolving and exploring. Within four
dimensions of opportunity, we lead and learn.
We continue to discover new opportunities to serve
low-income consumers.

Digital Innovation

Digital Innovation provides an efficient way to serve the last-mile. Through these innovations, we can increase demand while also facilitating behavioural change campaigns.

Circular Economy

Ensuring that products in low-income markets do not contribute to environmental harm or waste is vital. We look at product design, waste disposal and the waste supply chain to make this happen.

Women Entrepreneurship

There is enormous potential for women to bring in added value across the whole value chain. From women micro-entrepreneurs to CEOs, we support them in serving low-income consumers.

Financial Inclusion

Financial Inclusion at the last mile is complex. Access is growing, but usage and adoption remains low. We support companies to reach these markets effectively with impactful digital financial solutions.

Sectors

Four sectors
where we work

Consumer aspirations are the basis
for our work in these sectors.

Food and agriculture

From fortified rice in Myanmar to healthy baby food in Nigeria. We work with companies on making nutritious food available. We also bring contextualised agricultural innovations to market. From satellite-based data services in Bangladesh, to post-harvest solutions in Kenya.

Water, sanitation and hygiene

From marketing ultra low-cost water filters, to commercialising pit latrine emptying services, to rolling out behaviour change campaigns to increase use of hygiene products and practices. In this sector we help safeguard the health and wellbeing of low-income communities.

Renewable energy
and efficiency

Electrification is important for low-income communities that are often disconnected from the grid. We help to drive demand, improve accessibility and affordability, for products such as solar lamps, improved cookstoves and PAYG financing.

Finance

Through digital wallets and payments that help build up a financial history and create a new connection between consumers and formal financial service providers, access to other financial products like micro-insurance and credit become possible at lower premiums.

Toolkit

We tailor our services to the needs of projects

We have developed sixteen useful tools that help us get our work done well. Need a specific tool for your project? We gladly adapt our tools or develop a new tool together.
