The Economic Opportunities Program (EOP) helps the people who help the poor escape poverty. The program provides practical tools, training and information to organizations that help low-income individuals start a business, find a better job and build wealth. EOP is composed of access to capital and credit, FIELD and Workforce Strategies Initiative (WSI).

About the Economic Opportunities Program

EOP employs a technique known as participatory learning that is designed to help project stakeholders – including funders, policy makers, nonprofit leaders and community representatives – engage in self-assessment, collective knowledge development and joint action.
