Our Approach

Climbing out of poverty in the developing world takes more than hard work; it takes economic opportunities. Entrepreneurs create these opportunities by identifying and capitalizing on good business ideas. TechnoServe helps them turn their visions into reality.  


Build on Success

Our programs focus on developing entrepreneurs, building businesses and industries, and improving the business environment. Over the course of four decades, we've learned what does and doesn't work. Our scaled-up initiatives and our expansion into new industries and regions build upon and adapt our successful business models and programs.

TechnoServe in Action — Nicaragua

From Conflict to Coffee

With the help of TechnoServe, José Adán López and fellow farmers have used coffee profits to transform the lives of their families and community.

"One lesson I have learned from institutions like TechnoServe is that with concentrated effort...coupled with knowledge, finance and committed people on the ground, you will successfully advance rural economic development."
