Aid-funded business
You can use aid-funded business as a springboard into a new market or region. It also gives you protection in difficult markets from payment problems, and opportunities in a range of areas including consultancy, supplies of goods and services and contracting.
Aid Funded Business is about win-win. British companies win the business, the aid agency funds a sound project and the developing country gains a sustainable asset. The key development agencies spend around $60 billion (U.S. dollars) every year on development, which represents substantial business opportunities for companies.
To make the most of these opportunities, you need to understand how the agencies work, who you need to contact to find business opportunities and how to get on the right databases.
The UKTI website provides further information on aid-funded business and opportunities from all the major aid organisations.
