Sustainable enterprises that engage poor consumers can face a host of barriers that prevent their sustainability and scale.  The presentation will cover how ICT can be used to address the following barriers: Lack of financing, weak distribution channels, insufficient labor, adaptive management, and knowing location characteristics that enable success.   Better targeting and ICT services can not only eliminate barriers but also assure greater success for a market segment that struggles to go to scale.
