Increasing use of the market systems approach has led to a growing demand for skilled practitioners and high-performing teams. However, the current system of training and capacity building falls short of meeting the needs of programmes. This constraint threatens to undermine the effectiveness and credibility of the approach. Market Systems Development (MSD), also known as Making Markets Work for the Poor (MMW4P), aims to develop business innovations that help businesses to grow, thereby creating market driven sustainable solutions for the poor, whether suppliers, employees or consumers.  MSD programs partner with private and public actors, providing them with technical expertise, access to networks and funds.
