Together with our partners we reinforce the strength of small-scale producers and strive for better access to markets through building more structured relationships between small producers on one hand and processing companies, local traders, retailers and exporters on the other. Together with our partners we try to eliminate economic obstacles through development of sustainable chains of production. Besides, we lobby against unbalanced economic relations. Through the support of emerging microfinance institutions we try to empower people to become independent and tackle poverty.&nbsp; We offer donations as well as credit, guarantees and trade funding to achieve these goals. We hope that this website, a virtual meeting place, will enable all our 330 partner organisations to access our combined knowledge and stimulate mutual learning and the development of new ideas and innovative approaches." <br><br>Marjolein Dubbers,&nbsp;<em>Sectormanager Entrepreneurship</em><br><br>Read more in room <a href="http://www.cordaidpartners.com/rooms/program-9-small-producers">small producers</a><br>Read more in room <a href="http://www.cordaidpartners.com/rooms/program-10-microfinance">Microfinance</a><a href="http://www.cordaidpartners.com/programs/10-microfinance" _base_href="http://www.cordaidpartners.com/"></a><br></p> 2009-03-18T13:55:20+01:00 Entrepreneurship true 2 198 entrepreneurship true Entrepreneurship 2010-02-09T04:35:22+01:00 2132
