1-      Innovations for Women’s Empowerment in Southeast Anatolia

2-      Engineer Girls of Turkey

3-      The Life is Simpler with Internet

4-      I Can Manage My Money

The report is a result of the Argentine G20 Presidency and G20 Member States’, invited partners and International Organizations efforts to highlight activities in the field of Inclusive Business. Inclusive Business Action Network (IBAN) and UNDP are co-managing the G20 Global Platform on Inclusive Business (GPIB), which helps facilitate expansion efforts in Inclusive Business knowledge and capacity building world-wide. The report highlights key findings and messages and summarizes the main lessons learned from the 47 projects submitted by the invited partners.

As it is stated in the report; inclusive businesses provide goods, services, and livelihoods on a commercially viable basis, either at scale or scalable, to people living at the base of the economic pyramid (BoP) making them part of the value chain of companies’ core business as suppliers, distributors, retailers, or customers.

In the report “Innovations for Women’s Empowerment in Southeast Anatolia Project”, which aims to increase women’s income through entrepreneurship and increased employment opportunities, mostly by providing capacity building measures, is given as an example of a domestic inclusive business model.
