Summary of publication

This document details the design for 2011-2013 Market Development Facility, including analysis, lessons, description and proposed management arrangements.

The document proposes a multi-country facility to support market development programs tailored to the contexts in Fiji, East Timor and Solomon Islands, with potential for future expansion to other countries. The facility seeks to generate sustainable increases in income and sustainable new jobs for poor people in both rural and urban areas. An investment of $14 million over three years is expected to generate around a 15 per cent increase in sustainable income for 40,000 poor farm families, and create around 2,500 sustainable jobs.
