At the core of the Council’s activities are volunteer consulting engagements in which members work in small teams to help entrepreneurs in emerging markets worldwide resolve fundamental business problems. Our consulting engagements have included:
- Increasing plantain production in Honduras
- Re-branding a microfinance institution in Cambodia
- Capacity building for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) in India
- Finding international markets for locally produced honey in Kenya
- Marketing medicated salt to eradicate lymphatic filariasis in Haiti
If Microfinance provides entrepreneurs in emerging markets access to funds to grow their business and improve their livelihood, the IBC's Social Enterprise division helps those entrepreneurs maximize the value of those funds.
