Abstract
Billions of people lack access to beneficial products including solar lights, water purifiers, and agricultural inputs. Last mile distributors (LMDs) are critical to ensuring such products reach last mile communities, helping to improve health, wellbeing, and livelihoods. The Last Mile Distribution: State of the sector report is based on a survey of 72 members of the Global Distributors Collective (GDC) and interviews with more than 30 sector experts. The summary report identifies key trends, challenges, and opportunities, and makes recommendations regarding how to better engage with, invest in, and support the sector.
