Abstract
As we have seen, there are ample opportunities to improve the lives of poor families by providing them with valuable, affordable products and services. While the boundaries between domestic and economic uses are often blurred (such as the photovoltaic lamp that helps children to study and parents to work at night), the products and services we have described so far were not primarily aimed at improving income generation. This chapter turns to some of the solutions that focus on enhancing income generation by boosting the profitability of small farmers and, more generally, micro- entrepreneurs.
