市场失灵、政府失灵、穷人和商业行为者的某些特征以及他们的环境都可能成为阻碍穷人作为消费者和生产者更积极地参与市场的障碍。私营行为体——包括营利性和非营利实体，往往与公共部门合作——已经能够通过创新减轻其中的一些限制，这些创新有助于使市场对穷人更具包容性，使他们不仅能够获得准入，而且能够以增强其经济赋权和人类发展的方式参与其中。本文确定了所使用的策略和创新，并为它们设计了一种可能的类型。
Market failures, government failures and some of the characteristics of both the poor and business actors as well as their environment can act as barriers preventing the poor from participating more actively in markets, both as consumers and as producers. Private actors - including for-profit and not-for-profit entities, often in partnership with the public sector - have been able to mitigate some of these constraints through innovations that have helped to make markets more inclusive for the poor, enabling them not just to gain access, but also to participate in ways that enhance their economic empowerment and human development. This article identifies the strategies and innovations used and devises a possible typology for them.
