Mobilizing the Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor of Tanzania: A Case Study

Abstract

This case study is part of a Harvard Kennedy School CSR Initiative workstream on systemic approaches to creating business opportunity and development impact at scale. An initial framing paper, ""Tackling Barriers to Scale: From Inclusive Business Models to Inclusive Business Ecosystems,"" was published in September 2011. This document is one of several in depth case studies subsequently conducted to generate knowledge and provide practical guidance on what such systemic approaches look like and how to structure and implement them. Inclusive business models include people living in poverty in the value chain as producers, consumers, employees, and business partners. Inclusive business ecosystems are the communities or networks of interconnected, interdependent players whose actions determine whether or not a particular company's inclusive business model will succeed. These players typically include individuals, companies, governments, intermediaries, NGOs, public and private donors, and others.
