Summary

NIDAN builds organizations and profitable businesses of informal sector workers, including rag pickers, street vendors, micro entrepreneurs domestic helpers, agriculture workers and farmers. It does this by tapping into the wealth of the poor, primarily their numerical strength, and then aggregates them into economies of scale. This process of “collectivizing” generates social capital, representation and a voice for the poor, which they then leverage to launch their own businesses. NIDAN has brought together 400,000 workers from the informal sector and positioned them as legitimate competitors in markets opening throughout the country.
