Since 2000, Lavelle & Associates, Inc. (LAI), has been assisting clients in the design and implementation of sustainable business development programs, especially in developing country and fragile state contexts. LAI is a certified woman-owned small business with offices in the U.S. and Poland, working in collaboration with a wide-range of clients, including government ministries and agencies, institutions of higher education, donor-funded project teams, and local and multi-national corporations, to build their capacity to plan, launch, manage and monitor their entrepreneurship promotion and MSME support programs. LAI’s development approach stems from the belief that project outcomes and impact can be improved and, more importantly, sustained when the approach includes the development of inclusive market systems. To this end, LAI works strategically with a range of public and private market players to participate in the development of markets and perform critical market functions effectively and efficiently.
