The Operational Guide for the Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) Approach 2nd edition The Springfield Centre (2015)

This operational guide was funded by Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and UK Department for International Development (DFID)

Market systems development remains a work in progress. It has enormous potential to increase the sustainability and impact of development intervention but it requires that practitioners and policy-makers continue to learn from and build upon lessons learned to date. It requires ambition and advocacy that the development field can ‘do better’: in the words of the Guide, go beyond simply ‘putting out fires’, over and over again. The catalytic role played by the three ‘M4P documents’ in creating interest in market systems development and, importantly, enhancing practice on the ground has been considerable. Invaluable practitioner experience has since emerged from the field. Six years on, it is imperative that this experience is reflected in the frameworks and guidance that support new and ongoing market systems initiatives.
