Our expertise in governance, business reform, public-private partnerships, trade facilitation, and frontier markets empowers our clients to invest and achieve robust growth. We build economies that harness the power—and efficiencies—of digitization and reinforce sound business-enabling environments.
From strengthening financial markets to reforming trade policies and expanding investment opportunities, our work fosters growth and enhances market stability for long-term development and self-reliance.
We work with governments and private sector worldwide to create fair, transparent regulations, enable competitiveness, strengthen financial markets, and foster resilient economies. We support countries in mobilizing domestic resources and promoting long-term economic self-reliance.
We apply market systems, competitiveness, and value chain strengthening approaches that result in functioning markets, enhanced opportunities for micro- small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs), increased exports, and strengthened value chains.
We empower governments and the private sector with technology-enabled tools that drive increased connectivity and flourishing digital economies. We spearhead initiatives ranging from facilitating public-private investments for information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure to refining legal frameworks for e-commerce.
Leveraging market driven strategies, we promote financial access and stability, facilitate public-private partnerships and blended finance arrangements—with a strong focus on structured finance and improved regulations— and collaborate with financial institutions to unlock finance access for new sectors.
We specialize in addressing non-tariff barriers to trade and improving customs and regulatory systems that help reduce the time and cost to trade. We specialize in helping to navigate an increasingly complex digital trade environment through the expansion and use of e-commerce and digital platforms. We improve the efficiency of supply chains through targeted work on specialized inspections, risk management approaches, and the use of special economic zones in trade, among others.
Cadmus implemented the market systems component of the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) funded Land Investment for Transformation (LIFT) program in Ethiopia, which over seven years improved the security of tenure of over 6.5 million farmers through the distribution of over 14 million geo-referenced land certificates. Cadmus’ work focused on maximizing the productivity and income benefits of rural small landholders receiving these land certificates by identifying sustainable, market-friendly solutions to allow them to further invest in their land.
