SCOPE in ADB’s “SOLUTIONS” market

Contributing to the overall theme of “Inclusive Growth through Better Governance and Partnerships”, PBSP promotes SCOPE as an innovative program that enables small-scale producers to contribute to as well as benefit from economic growth. To achieve this goal, SCOPE focuses on embedding community producer groups into the value chain of local companies as suppliers of services or semi-processed goods.

SCOPE Partnerships are both, economically viable for the company and socially empowering for the community. This mutually beneficial partnership is based on a company’s supply demand while the community is transformed into a market-responsive supplier.

Encouraging and enabling producers to master more sophisticated steps along the value chain and cashing in on it, is one way of  “Creating Shared Value”, a concept inherent in every Strategic Corporate-Community Partnership.
