TechnoServe, Anglo American, and the Inter-American Development Bank are collaborating in a regional public-private partnership to catalyze locally adapted economic development for communities surrounding Anglo American’s mining operations in Brazil, Chile, and Peru.

Women IN Business: The Women IN Business (WIN) program helps women-led businesses to grow their incomes through better access to products, inputs, and services, while addressing gender inequality in commercial business. Through this market systems approach, WIN works in partnership with permanent market players - such as private sector companies, associations, service providers and regulators. Partners are carefully selected and new ways of working are tested before inviting other market players to replicate their success. This approach allows WIN to find sustainable, lasting, market-based solutions for women.

The Women's Advancement in Rural Development and Agriculture program provides technical assistance to producer groups and facilitates producer group formation with the aim of empowering rural women and improving their lives and communities.
