What is the Development Marketplace?
Development Marketplace (DM) is a funding program that promotes innovative development beyond established channels through an open, transparent competition with minimum cost and bureaucracy. The DM's goal is to create a marketplace of ideas, talent and resources that addresses the challenges of economic growth and poverty alleviation. DM is a program about finding solutions.
The purpose of the DM is twofold:
(a) to generate fresh thinking and to test new ways of basic services and expanding livelihood opportunities to rural populations to secure peace through development; and
(b) to promote a culture of partnerships in the provision of basic services.
