Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World

Accenture Development Partnership’s extensive work with both for-profit and non-profit organizations gives us a unique vantage point for our perspective on cross sector convergence.

Our latest point of view—‘Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World’—is built on our own project experience, on in-depth client interviews, and on other Accenture research, to imagine a very different future for development

New definitions of “cross sector convergence”

6

Convergence of issues: • Global development problems are complex, interdependent and should not be dealt with

in isolation from one another

Convergence of Solutions:• ADP anticipates a cross-sector convergence of solutions to development problems—

putting the needs of those most affected squarely at the heart of the matter.

Convergence of interests:• What’s good for NGOs may turn out to be good for business and vice versa

A convergence of issues

The challenges facing our planet today are systemic in nature and require integrated rather than siloed responses

A convergence of interestsContrary to conventional wisdom, business interests and success can also lead to greater development impact

Inclusive Business: • Local sourcing engaging poor

or marginalised groups

• Maximise development impact within extended supply chain

Brand and Reputation• Differentiate products and

services to increasingly savvy consumers

• Drive greater employee engagement

Licence to Operate• Enhanced relationship and

influence with emerging market governments

• Rising expectations of host governments and citizens on role of business

Improved Livelihoods: • Increased employment

opportunities and income for communities previously excluded from the global economy

Access to Basic Services • Ability to leverage reach of

corporate supply chains to increase access to key goods and services (e.g. medicines, health products, nutrient rich foods)

Human Capital Development• Private sector providing

people with the skills needed to succeed in the marketplace

CommercialImpact

Societal Impact

A convergence of solutionsFunders of the development process will change focus from issue to outcome which will require systems solutions to global problem solving

Organizationally Agnostic

• Identify partner or partners that have the best capabilities for delivering

• Impact will trump sector, tax status or brand

Market driven

• Harness power of markets but often catalysed by innovative financing mechanisms

• Intelligent and supportive regulatory environment

Sustainable and Scalable:

• Solutions that are maintained over time and not dependent on a single funding source

• Become scalable when they have been developed and proven systemically
