Applying a systems’ perceptive, poverty eradication is recognized as a multi-scale endeavor with different partners participating at the local, national, regional, and international levels. Whereas the foregoing discussion has focused on microfinance lessons for the local level, this section will broaden the scope with lessons that scale up through the state to the global community.

Five tactics for selling Africa-based products to non-Africans
I’ve been having discussions about the difficulties of selling African products to non-Africans for years. As I mentioned in my post about African affluence, and Benin expanded upon in his post on advertisers ignoring Africa, there are many hurdles that come with proving the worth of an Africa-focused product of service, especially when it comes to non-Africans. But while many of us can certainly make a good living selling our products to Africans alone, there is also a need to introduce the non-African market to those same products.

Microfinance - Where We Are Now: And Where We Are Headed
All of us who are involved in microfinance know that it is neither just nor economically tenable for financial systems in poor countries to serve only a tiny proportion of the population and exclude the vast majority. We are no longer alone in this. All over the developing world people are waking up to the fact that poor people need - and will pay for - a wealth of financial options, solutions and services, just like rich people. They are realizing that poor people represent a vast untapped market opportunity. And as a result we are witnessing poor people's finance becoming mainstream finance in most poor countries.

The Africa Growth & Opportunity Act, What You Should Know
It is undisputed, to a large extent, that President Bush made the wrong move with the war in Iraq. Nevertheless, there are a few things he did right. One was being the first President to hire qualified African-Americans to his cabinent--think current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice & former Secretary of State Colin Powell. The other, was the enactment of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act [AGOA]. Since the enactment, however, there has been much confusion as to what it means and how Africans & non-Africans, especially those in the apparel and textile industry can benefit from it.
