Are there philantropists who give financial support to bamboo industry development?
There are individual NGOs and government agencies that fund small business development for local communities in developing countries. These bodies vary from country-to-country. For instance, in Afghanistan, there is funding from the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development that comes from international donors, as well as various small INGOs that give money for small enterprise development. Sometimes, specialists are sought for specific small business development (wine making, bamboo cultivation, etc.) via sites like ReliefWeb.
