EMF identifies, promotes and incubates small-scale projects that are innovative, practical, solution-oriented, and have a broad impact on the target country.

EMF's projects and activities target three themes:

  • Blue Highway: efficient and reliable community and or entrepreneur-run distribution channels that get products to end users at affordable prices
  • Blue Gold: appropriate instruments  for financing distrubution channels and end users.
