The project explores their innovative approaches in creatively serving disadvantaged, poverty-stricken, and marginalized communities in emerging markets, such as Brazil and Colombia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our primary focus lies in the actions, mechanisms, and strategies employed by these companies to orchestrate resources effectively. We explore how they coordinate multi-actor perspectives to address the unique needs of vulnerable communities, ensuring their active inclusion in the social and economic ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outcomes of the project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The outcomes of the MNEDEVELOP project will enable policymakers, MNE managers, and community leaders to formulate targeted policy recommendations catering to the specific needs of disadvantaged communities in emerging markets. We will explore the actionable insights that will drive informed decision-making for sustainable development and positive societal impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mnedevelop.com\/?page_id=70\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"70\">Contact the MNEDEVELOP team<\/a> to find out more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mnedevelop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/MNEDEVELOP-Flier-1.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"785\">Download a summary of the project (PDF, 932 KB)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Funders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MNEDEVELOP is funded by the British ESRC-UKRI \u2013 Research and Innovation Fund and FAPESP from Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukri.org\/councils\/esrc\/\">ESRC-UKRI The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)<\/a>\u00a0is the UK\u2019s largest organisation for funding research on economic and social issues.
