The Center for Economic Initiatives is a
not-for-profit business development organization
devoted to providing assistance and training for
organizations and individuals in the developing world.
CEI has been working since 1995 to increase the
competitiveness of entrepreneurs and small and
medium-sized firms in the developing world and in
emerging democracies. Our expertise also extends
to strengthening non-governmental and business support
organizations.
Our study tour program, based on the technical
assistance program of the Marshall Plan, provides
business leaders and government officials with the
insights necessary to make their
enterprises more productive, thus increasing living standards for
individuals, communities, and countries.
Services
Our industry experts conduct on-site consulting
assignments at businesses and institutions to help
them increase sales, lower costs, introduce new
products, and achieve higher profitability.
Technical Assistance
CEI offers technical assistance for individuals and organizations seeking information on a variety of areas related to manufacturing, construction, marketing, government and agriculture.
- Questions related to specific topics can be asked and CEI will make its best efforts to research the answers. The questions are usually related to one of our study tour subjects, but this is not a requirement. Typically there is no charge for initial consultations.
- CEI designs and organizes short term study tours for groups interested in a specific topic or industry. CEI can quote fees for these programs.
- CEI consultants are available to visit clients and to advise them on current industry practices. A nominal fee, plus expenses, is charged for these programs.
Example topics have included: energy conservation, procedures for exporting to the U.S., and the supply of agriculture experts. Contact CEI at cei@ceiworld.org for further information.

in these nations.

countries we operate, we operate out of the offices of
our partner organizations.

for International Development (USAID) and other

indirectly by World Bank loans to other countries.
CEI Helps America
As a partner with USAID, CEI is deeply involved in
the U.S. foreign assistance program. We help people in
developing countries and emerging nations build strong
private sectors that help to reduce poverty, promote
self-determination and ensure global stability. CEI
improves trade opportunities for American companies,
helps to keep the U.S. economy strong and enhances
national security.
