in which implementing agencies provide services directly to the poor, an agency ap-                      and examples from the field encourage student participation and peer learning.
plying M4P acts as a facilitator to align key players and functions of a market system
to produce sustainable results. The course aims to provide participants with a better

the different steps of the M4P approach and learn how to implement it in practice.
Practical examples and exercises illustrate M4P and encourage participation and peer
learning.
