Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World
Accenture Development Partnership’s extensive work with both for-profit and non-profit organizations gives us a unique vantage point for our perspective on cross sector convergence.
Our latest point of view—‘Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World’—is built on our own project experience, on in-depth client interviews, and on other Accenture research, to imagine a very different future for development

New definitions of “cross sector convergence”
6
Convergence of issues: • Global development problems are complex, interdependent and should not be dealt with
in isolation from one another
Convergence of Solutions:• ADP anticipates a cross-sector convergence of solutions to development problems—
putting the needs of those most affected squarely at the heart of the matter.
Convergence of interests:• What’s good for NGOs may turn out to be good for business and vice versa
A convergence of issues
The challenges facing our planet today are systemic in nature and require integrated rather than siloed responses

A convergence of interestsContrary to conventional wisdom, business interests and success can also lead to greater development impact
Inclusive Business: • Local sourcing engaging poor
or marginalised groups
• Maximise development impact within extended supply chain
Brand and Reputation• Differentiate products and
services to increasingly savvy consumers
• Drive greater employee engagement
Licence to Operate• Enhanced relationship and
influence with emerging market governments
• Rising expectations of host governments and citizens on role of business
Improved Livelihoods: • Increased employment
opportunities and income for communities previously excluded from the global economy
Access to Basic Services • Ability to leverage reach of
corporate supply chains to increase access to key goods and services (e.g. medicines, health products, nutrient rich foods)
Human Capital Development• Private sector providing
people with the skills needed to succeed in the marketplace
CommercialImpact
Societal Impact

A convergence of solutionsFunders of the development process will change focus from issue to outcome which will require systems solutions to global problem solving
Organizationally Agnostic
• Identify partner or partners that have the best capabilities for delivering
• Impact will trump sector, tax status or brand
Market driven
• Harness power of markets but often catalysed by innovative financing mechanisms
• Intelligent and supportive regulatory environment
Sustainable and Scalable:
• Solutions that are maintained over time and not dependent on a single funding source
• Become scalable when they have been developed and proven systemically
