The cases are arranged thematically and cover a broad array of solutions in diverse countries including India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Tanzania, the United States, South Africa, Mozambique, Peru, Ghana, Haiti,and Mexico. Specific programs for alleviating?or even eradicating?poverty through profitable partnerships come from myriad sectors such as banking, health, education, infrastructure development, environment, and technology.
