The priority focus of the work of the New Development Solutions Group (NDSG) is to create access to essential products and services in rural developing country villages through sustainable entrepreneurship. In order do achieve this, NDSG created and implements the MicroConsignment Model (MCM) through Community Enterprise Solutions with the support of Social Entrepreneur Corps. The MCM empowers and teaches all involved--the rural poor, rural micro entrepreneurs, NGO’s/social enterprises and donors/investors-- how to effectively and efficiently address poverty in a sustainable and scalable way. The MCM delivers essential products, services and information at affordable prices that have a positive economic and health impact. Through consignment rather than loans, MCM, entrepreneurs can overcome high uncertainty and are trained, equipped and supported. They are a continuous source of new real time market knowledge. They offer a growing number of appropriate solutions that address the real needs, perceived needs and desires of populations at the “base of the pyramid” through village campaigns. MCM is unique in that it addresses the “what” (essential products and services), the “who” (rural villagers), the “where” (rural villages) by creating a “how” (a highly scalable local distribution network of entrepreneurs) that acts as an ongoing mechanism to solve myriad healthcare and income/expense obstacles confronting the most vulnerable rural populations.
