Poverty & International Economic Development
Only broad and sustainable economic growth creates opportunities for employment that can move large sections of the population out of poverty. Organizations that provide local community access to education and capital are enabling them to contribute toward growth and to benefit from it. Actovian helps clients build the social and political infrastructure necessary to enable economic growth and establish robust democratic institutions in countries worldwide. With more than 40 percent of the world's people existing on less than $2 a day, hunger and international development is clearly a challenge meriting our best efforts. More and more Overseas Development Aid (ODA) is directed toward this challenge and more and more aid agencies are assisting the governments of the poorest developing countries to deploy this money in the fight against poverty. We work with public and private donors to design impactful investments addressing the causes of poverty and with our private sector clients to determine where their activities can advance economic development and poverty alleviation
Our Poverty and International Economic Development practice works with clients to bring large scale, sustainable improvements in economic opportunity and well-being to disadvantaged people in both developing and developed countries. We help our clients resolve systemic global development needs with tailored strategies across the areas of trade, micro-enterprise, competitiveness, economic integration, fiscal and monetary policy agenda setting, tax reform, public health, privatization, infrastructure, and technology-based transformation. We provide assistance to both the global headquarters of an organization and its work in the field. We help and facilitate fund raising strategies for non-profit organizations dedicated to poverty reduction and international development. Our local offices are staffed by local professionals with hands-on knowledge of local cultures, socio-political issues and environmental concerns.
