Inclusive Economic Growth

Strong agricultural productivity and market systems are essential for countries working to improve resilience, enhance livelihoods, and better dietary health. At the forefront of agricultural innovation and food security solutions, Abt partners at local, national, and regional levels to strengthen capacity and develop sustainable food systems. Our approach expands climate-smart practices and improves governance of natural resources. We also prioritize equity and inclusion to create opportunities for individuals and communities that have faced discrimination. We work with local actors to address market failures and improve business networks, norms that govern outcomes, and supportive services such as financing and technology adoption.

Abt Global facilitates inclusive, sustained economic growth that enhances the competitiveness of high-growth industries, empowers local stakeholders, and advances the green economy around the world. Our market-driven approaches link enterprises to markets, facilitate innovative financing, expand trade, mobilize private sector resources, and promote a supportive enabling environment.  We partner with host governments, private investors, enterprises, and local organizations to drive public-private collaboration that supports innovation and encourages investment. We prioritize equity and inclusion by helping youth, women, and marginalized groups participate in and benefit from growth through increased incomes, jobs, and other economic gains.  Our collaborations bolster transparent governance, promote social equity, and ensure sound environmental stewardship--all prerequisites for sustainable economic development.
