Ashoka: Economic Development
Ashoka Fellows and initiatives across the globe are developing core strategies on how to approach economic development. They are remodeling systems of resource allocation, infrastructure and value-chains to include the world's poorest citizens in a more integrated economy. They are creating security and access to markets thus developing efficient production and distribution mechanisms for goods and services. Their work brings visible results: innovative solutions to improving the quality of life for the almost two-thirds of the world's population living on less than $2 per day.
