Market Systems & Inclusive Development
Market Systems & Inclusive Development
Analytics Lab works to unlock inclusive, gender-responsive, and accessible economic systems through participatory diagnostics and value chain analyses.
Despite decades of investment, women, people with disabilities, and small-scale producers remain excluded from mainstream markets due to structural biases, weak linkages, and information asymmetry. Market systems lack gender-disaggregated data, and development actors often fail to identify levers for scalable inclusion. Policy frameworks are present but under-implemented.
We apply market systems diagnostics to uncover barriers to participation for women, PWDs, and small producers. Our field teams map actors, test inclusion hypotheses, and track value chain performance. We advise on inclusive growth policies, SME support models, and financial access innovations. Using visual analytics and AI-assisted segmentation, we translate raw data into actionable strategies that promote equitable market access and inclusive economic transformation.
