M4L project focuses on inclusive market system development in the last mile by identifying market and non-market barriers that impede their participation in economic activities for their decent livelihood. M4L, thus will try to develop ecosystem in which last mile men and women farmers & last mile service providers of market and non-market together bring out the changes needed for the last Mile`s economic wellbeing or development.
