Honorary Member of ECCA: Dr. Urs Heierli, Switzerland
 On July 12, 2010, Dr. Urs Heierli has been facilitated with Honorary Membership of ECCA. Dr. Urs Heierli (Ph.D economics) is a long-term consultant for Antenna Technologies in Geneva ( www.antenna.ch ) and for IDE (International Development Enterprises) with head office in Denver Colorado ( www.ideorg.org ). He is lecturer for development co-operation at the University of St. Gallen.
Dr. Urs also created msd consulting ( www.msdconsult.ch) in 2003, which focuses on market-based development interventions and is grounded on the belief that private initiative, self-help principles and market driven approaches are the key to sustainable development. The basic philosophy of msd consulting derives from the study " Poverty Alleviation as a Business", published in the year 2000.
Based on the conviction and experience that markets can become very powerful drivers for development and that poverty alleviation should involve the private sector to deliver affordable products and services or to provide access to markets for small farmers and micro-enterprises, several studies have been realised to understand the cooperation between private and public sector better.
