The Sustainable Marketplace Initiative is run by Building Markets, a non-profit social enterprise working in Myanmar, East-Timor, Afghanistan, Liberia, Haiti, United States and Canada.

The Republic of the Union of Myanmar is opening its doors to unprecedented levels of foreign direct investment and international development projects. The easing of sanctions and the adoption of the Foreign Investment Law increased the volume and scope of international investment and assistance entering the country. Building Markets is in a unique position to leverage this new economic activity into opportunities for local, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to grow their businesses and create jobs, thereby reducing poverty and guiding the economy on the path to sustainable and responsible development.
