Science & Technology Innovations for the Base of the Pyramid in Southeast Asia (iBoP Asia)
A partnership between the Ateneo School of Government and Canada’s International Development Research Centre, iBoP Asia is a pioneering effort in Southeast Asia that aims to promote and mainstream “base of the pyramid” (BoP) and science and technology (S&T) approaches to alleviating poverty. The base of the pyramid is a socio-economic designation for the roughly 4 billion people who live on less than US$4 a day. iBoP Asia has taken on a key role in furthering S&T-based BoP innovation in the region, and serves as a venue for interaction and collaboration among research partners and key actors in government, business, the academe and civil society. The Project maintains an online portal to facilitate information-sharing and dialogue among partners.
