Keys to Promote Inclusive Growth

One of the main challenges in the design of strategies for the development of productive inclusion initiatives is that they must have enough impact so that communities may insert themselves in the productive transformation processes in a sustainable manner.

To achieve impact, it is necessary to set out feasible solutions that address the real problems for the incorporation of micro-entrepreneurships to a productive chain.

1) Public and private initiatives for the development of micro-entrepreneurs' capacities help establish production standards that facilitate their incorporation to the entrepreneurial activity, as well as access to markets.

2) Financing for micro-entrepreneurships place an essential role in productive inclusion strategies, because it constitutes the response to many of the limitations that small producers face. Therefore, the design of the mechanisms that facilitate the provision of credits is essential.

3) Another solution consists in the formalization of actors, mechanisms, and proposals that generate benefits exceeding those perceived while operating in informality, as they are usually effective mechanisms that suggest inclusive solutions.

4) Public policies have a high impact on the incorporation of low-income communities to productive chains, as they usually acquire the shape of general working guidelines, decrees, and laws to achieve specific objectives.

5) Solutions are necessary in the development of infrastructure that are generally in the form of investments, direct public initiatives, or with the support of development organizations framed within the public policy processes.
