In Bolivia, more than 605 of the population lives in conditions of poverty. Economic activities are focused in the informal sector, and employment and market access opportunities are few and seldom offering long-term stable support. In this context, the SNV technical assistance offered to Bolivian companies helps to connect the private sector and economic actors to the BoP in a more formal, economically sustainable and mutually profitable relationship. In 2010, SNV and CAF signed an Agreement with the purpose of promoting Inclusive Business (IB) in Bolivia, as a sustainable solution that contributes to the reduction of the poverty, with the participation and the leadership of the private sector. In short, the SNV-CAF program has contributed to improving the business climate and assuring sustainable mechanisms of economic and social inclusion for people from the Base of the Pyramid.
