After 4 years working to develop market opportunities for the poor communities in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, Prosperity Initiative stopped its operational activities in late 2011. It will formally de-register as a legal entity during the final months of 2012.

PI's mission to reduce poverty through market forces will be carried on in various forms by the partners, businesses and staff who have worked with PI.

This website and the sister site www.mekongbamboo.org will be kept open, making it available as a public reference of PI's studies and research which we hope will be useful to others looking to develop bamboo, coconut, tourism, and other sectors which PI worked on.

The e-mail address This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it will be kept open until the end of 2013. Any queries relating to PI's work can be directed to this e-mail and will be responded to accordingly.

The PI board would like to thank all former staff, its many partners, donors and collaborators for the interest and support shown to PI over the years.
