Economic Developement
INNOVABRIDGE contributes to economic development in poor and emerging countries to improve the conditions for pro-poor economic growth.
INNOVABRIDGE professionals have been instrumental to reorient international economic cooperation efforts towards pro-poor, gender-balanced market development. They have accompanied and shaped public and private cooperation efforts towards that aim. In many instances, they have helped design policies and projects – large and small – as well as implement complex programs. Through backstopping and evaluation, they improved project, program, sector and national development strategies.

Effective governance and rule of law are essential not only for the protection of individual rights but also for pro-poor development. All levels of government are jointly accountable for efficient and effective public service delivery to their citizens. Well-functioning local governments are especially important as they are usually the first government door that citizens knock on. Adapting to specific governance contexts, INNOVABRIDGE has been collaborating with government officials, citizens and civil society stakeholders to assess specific needs and provide solutions to a variety of challenges. Our governance and rule of law experts have engaged closely on a short and long-term basis with local and national governments.

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOODS
INNOVABRIDGE develops novel approaches in agriculture, biodiversity and sustainable natural resource management.
Looming food insecurity, deteriorating natural habitats and biodiversity, dwindling soil fertility and climate change are challenges that are affecting our livelihoods in many ways, and more so in the future. The INNOVABRIDGE team is experienced in agricultural production and post harvest management, in the sustainable management of water and soil fertility. We are versed in the design and management of nature reserves and natural resources management concepts, in wild and domesticated species conservation. We perform environmental risk assessments of genetically modified organisms, biological control organisms, and potentially harmful invasive plants and animals. We advise innovative entrepreneurs and pioneer farmers in several developing countries in cropping and processing techniques of novel species for the production of food, feed and fiber.
