Policy & Strategy Clusters of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have been in existence for several decades and centuries. Yet, cluster based development is a recent art and science. The policy & strategy division helps to familiarize the policy makers and senior development practitioners about the cluster based approach and how it can be applied effectively within their sectoral and thematic mandate. It provides solutions in the form of cluster mapping, devising policies, defining the focus and designing of assistance architecture for impact making development initiatives. The Foundation builds on its dynamic think-tank on cluster based issues while drawing upon in-house knowledge and international experiences.

“We assist institutions undertake effective and inclusive cluster based local economic development in developing and transition economies.”
