Other Sectors
TechnoServe helps people capitalize on good business opportunities in a variety of other economic sectors, beyond agriculture, alternative energy and tourism.
TechnoServe is currently guiding the growth of the wood products industry in Mozambique and helping salt processors in Ghana. We also help a variety of small rural enterprises in mining communities to capitalize on economic opportunities presented by the mining companies; we are currently doing such work in Peru. We are also exploring private-sector solutions to Africa's most pressing health problems, including malaria and HIV/AIDS; this includes an IFC study that identified sustainable business models for insecticide-treated mosquito nets and other anti-malarial measures.

Bolstering Entrepreneurs in Peru
Through participation in TechnoServe/Peru’s business plan competition, three entrepreneurs have developed a product which benefits both the producers and buyers of animal feed.
"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."
