| Summary: | The COVID-19 crisis is expected to roll
back some of the progress made against global poverty over
the last two decades, with the greatest impact on
individuals at the base of the economic pyramid. Inclusive
businesses that expand access to goods, services, and

that companies are taking to address needs at the base of
the pyramid. We present their actions here as examples of
what other businesses could do in response to the needs of
those at the base of the pyramid. |
