Inclusive economic development and well-functioning markets are the engine rooms of jobs, incomes and resilient livelihoods across Australia and the Indo-Pacific. We help organisations move from strategy to practical action, using research, evaluation, learning and program design to unlock opportunities for inclusive economic growth. Our work spans strengthening MSMEs, improving regulatory and institutional frameworks, expanding market access, and leveraging agriculture and agribusiness for achieving broader development impact.
Led by Ben Miqueu – whose expertise includes private sector growth, MSME acceleration, business enabling environments, aid-for-trade and food security – our team pairs technical know-how with a commitment to ensuring markets work for people and communities.
