Private Sector Development & Economic Growth Services by ACTS Bangladesh

Catalyzing market systems, empowering enterprises, and driving sustainable economic transformation.

A thriving private sector is the engine of sustainable socio-economic development. At ACTS, we work to remove barriers to economic growth by fostering competitive market systems, building the capacity of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and facilitating environments where innovation and investment can flourish. Our interventions are designed to create decent jobs, increase incomes, and ensure inclusive economic participation.

Core Service Lines

Value Chain & Market Systems Development (MSD)

We analyze complex market systems to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for growth. By upgrading value chains—from agriculture to manufacturing and services—we help local producers improve quality, increase efficiency, and access higher-value national and international markets.

MSME Promotion & Entrepreneurship

Small businesses are the backbone of emerging economies. We design and implement targeted support programs that provide MSMEs with access to finance, business development services (BDS), and digital transformation tools. Our entrepreneurship programs focus specifically on empowering youth and women-led enterprises.

Trade & Investment Facilitation

We assist governments in streamlining regulatory frameworks to improve the ease of doing business. Simultaneously, we support trade promotion organizations and industry associations in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and building export readiness among local industries.

Green Economy & Circular Business Models

Economic growth must be sustainable. We integrate green practices into private sector operations, advising businesses on resource efficiency, renewable energy adoption, and circular economy models that reduce environmental footprints while improving profitability.
