Strategic investments to transform social sectoral provision

Processing bamboo as part of Prosperity Initiative’s plan to transform the bamboo sector in North-West Vietnam. In two years the project has enabled 22,000 people to move out of poverty. The project’s goal is to move 750,000 people out of income poverty across Vietnam, Lao PDR and Cambodia by 2020. Image courtesy of the Prosperity Initiative.

Strategic investments to transform social sectoral provision, for example, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s investment in small high schools across America, and the Prosperity Initiative which creates sectoral partnerships to stimulate industries that create income employment for the rural poor.
