Originally from Scotland, he is a Policy Officer in the Trade and Economic Governance team at ECDPM where he has been working since May 2011. He is working on issues relating to the growing call to &quot;engage the private sector for development&quot;, domestic resource mobilisation, private sector investment in agriculture under CAADP, regional integration initiatives, aid for trade and trade facilitation. As part of his work, he brings an economic approach with an understanding of political economy issues. At ECDPM he has so far been involved in fieldwork in Mozambique, Tanzania and C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire. Prior to ECDPM, Bruce worked as a consultant, carrying out projects for various organisations including UNIDO, USAID, and DANIDA. The focus of his work was mainly on industrial policy and private sector development, more specifically focusing on barriers to firm expansion, informality and tax policy in Mozambique, Rwanda and Lesotho. Bruce also worked in the Mozambican Ministry of Planning and Development\/Finance for five years, partly as an ODI Fellow and subsequently as a consultant and researcher in the Macro-economic Projections Unit of the National Budget Directorate, and the Directorate for Policy Studies and Analysis.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"content column wide left author content view\" id=\"content\">\n<article class=\"fader\">\n<div class=\"article\">\n<div class=\"body contents\">\n<div class=\"share\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    var addthis_config = {\n        ui_language = 'en'\n    }\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis sharing\">\n\t<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n<div class=\"addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style\" addthis:title=\"Byiers Bruce \">\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_twitter\" tw:via=\"thebrokeronline\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_facebook\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_pinterest_share\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_preferred_4\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_button_compact\"><\/a><br \/>\n\t<a class=\"addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style\"><\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<p>\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">var addthis_config = data_track_addressbar;<\/script><br \/>\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/files\/js\/300\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n\t<!-- AddThis Button END -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"addthis article_options\">\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"children\">\n<div class=\"article\">\n<section class=\"children related\">\n<div class=\"article\">\n<div class=\"wleft\">\n<div class=\"img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/blogs\/towards-a-food-secure-world\/corridors-of-power-or-plenty\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/files\/var\/broker\/storage\/images\/blogs\/towards-a-food-secure-world\/corridors-of-power-or-plenty\/357798-1-eng-gb\/corridors-of-power-or-plenty_column.jpg\" alt=\"Corridors of power or plenty \"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wright\">\n<header>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/blogs\/towards-a-food-secure-world\/corridors-of-power-or-plenty\/\">Corridors of power or plenty <\/a><\/h3>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/authors\/byiers-bruce\/\">Bruce  Byiers<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t|<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t11 March 2025<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/header>\n<p class=\"yunu3cvqabft7vifv\">\n\t\t\tCorridors and their use of PPPs do seem to offer a range of opportunities \u2013 the challenge is to put in place policies that ensure the benefits are spread more widely.\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokeronline.eu\/blogs\/towards-a-food-secure-world\/corridors-of-power-or-plenty\/\">read more<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"navigator\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false,"raw":""},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Byiers Organisation: ECDPM Website: profile Dr Bruce Byiers [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template_3.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-216","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 -
