Like us, they too believe in using entrepreneurial, private-sector approaches to solve the problems of poverty.<br /><br />So it was with great interest that I discovered their recently-launched <a title="Acumen Fund Blog: Entrepreneurial Solutions to Global Poverty" href="http://www.acumenfundblog.org/">Acumen Fund Blog: Entrepreneurial Solutions to Global Poverty</a> (the title might be bland, but the content’s not). It appears that most of the Acumen<a title="Acumen Fund Team" href="http://www.acumenfund.org/About/team.asp "> team</a> will be blogging from time to time, sharing personal stories from the field and musing about trying to fund solutions at the BOP. This is looking like a must-read for us base of the pyramid development folks, a burden made easier by Acumen Fund Blog’s RSS feeds (I've added them to my Bloglines - more on RSS <a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/rss">here</a>)<br /><br />If you’re itching for a good first story, you might check out “<a title="The Challenge of Housing for the BOP" href="http://www.acumenfundblog.org/2006/02/09/the-challenge-of-housing-for-the-bop/">The Challenge of Housing for the BOP</a>,” by Acumen COO David Kyle. <br /><br /> <br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/blogs/2006/03/01/acumen-fund-launches-blog">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/blogs/2006/03/01/acumen-fund-launches-blog#comment Housing Miscellaneous Wed, 01 Mar 2006 08:23:07 -0500 Rob Katz 2335 at http://www.nextbillion.net
