To mark Global Partnership Week (www.p3.co), this live, online discussion explored ways to achieve greater scale and impact in efforts to strengthen small businesses. The CSR Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School and Business Fights Poverty had recently completed a report on SABMiller’s new 4e Path to Progress programme in Latin America, which aimed to empower nearly 200,000 small retailers at the base of the pyramid by 2020. The report identified emerging lessons and key strategic questions facing 4e on the journey to scale. Many of these were common to enterprise development programmes across regions and industry sectors. The discussion covered participants’ insights and new ideas.
