In 2006 BiD Challenge started two local hubs,
BiD Hotspots, to strengthen its activities in Peru
and the Philippines. Hotspots are organised by
local partner organisations with a strong focus
and network in private sector development.
The main reasons for going local are:
1. close the language-gap (local challenge
is organised in local language);
2. closer to the target group (participants
increasingly are from developing countries);
3. local screeners and coaches are better
attuned to local situation and context;
4. easier to promote tender and to monitor,
evaluate and follow up projects;
5. closer to local knowledge about the market,
more healthy access to capital;
6. local engagement and bigger impact on
local awareness.
In 2006, the Hotspots focused mainly on promo-
tion and engaging local screeners and coaches,
which resulted in more business plans and support
from both regions. A next logical step will be
running the BiD Challenge on a national level.
For 2007 we plan to initiate Hotspot pilots in
Africa, Asia and Latin America, possibly leading
to independent national BiD Challenges. The
pilots will be set up according to common guiding
principles, but tailored to local criteria, using
local expertise, investment criteria and business
development services.
Philippines
There is still hope, uttered Delfn Perez, anchor
of Business sa Radyo, during a morning business
radio broadcast in the Philippines. He was
referring to the BiD Challenge competition as
providing a gleam of hope to poor Filipinos. He
couldnt be more right, because within two weeks
the BiD Challenge received 135 good business
ideas from Filipinos. For PBSP, which aims to
promote business sector commitment to reducing
poverty, the BiD Challenge has affrmed the belief
that Together, our greatest gift to social progress
is not the money that we contribute to fund
projects, but our collective strength and
knowledge of business methods that can be
applied to the enterprise of social progress.
The Philippine Business for Social Progress
BiD Challenge Philippines
Peru
SME development in Peru is hot and directly
related to the entrepreneurial spirit in Peru. As we
plugged in into the International BiD
Challenge just before the closure of Round 1
only 42 Peruvians participated in the Challenge.
However, two entrepreneurs made it to the fnale
and will visit Holland. For us its clear that the
Peruvian entrepreneurs deserve special attention
and that a future Peru Challenge will defnitely
continue to contribute many quality business
plans and businesses. The BiD Challenge Peru
team is now preparing the set up of a national
BiD Challenge in Spanish for 2007 to increase
our outreach and to provide a better service to its
participants. The outlook of the necessary partner-
ships is promising, making the Challenge a source
of synergy.

From this year onwards the BiD Challenge aims
to further increase its effectiveness as a catalyst
for entrepreneurship and development. To achieve
this the BiD Challenge will:
Refnethemission: we will aim to stimulate
entrepreneurship which maximises development
impact per euro invested. We will report in terms
like euros spent per job and per company created
in developing countries. All our activities will
be benchmarked and reported in a transparent
fashion;
Monitorresultsmore consistently and publish
the same;
Fromprizestofnancing. Take a frst step in
2007 from a business plan competition with prize
money only to one providing loans and equity
funding;
Workmorecloselywithinvestororgani-
sations, who can invest in the best businesses.
A start will be made with Gexsi - the Global
exchange for social investment;
Createatwotracksystem for the promotion
of business ideas and the promotion of existing
businesses with development impact;
Franchisethecompetition and its infrastruc-
ture to Africa, Asia and Latin America in at least
four developing countries in 2007. Decentralised
BiD Challenges will be run locally, with a combi-
nation of international and local funding. The aim
is to involve local fnanciers and local companies
in stimulating local entrepreneurship for develop-
ment. We hope this will serve the mission more
effectively;
Improvetheon-lineBiDNetworkcom-
munity.We aim to increase membership and
interaction between members; improve the quality
of plans and amount and variation of members
and aim to monetize the network with BiD Cred-
its that can be invested in the BiD plans;
Changeorganisationalstructure. Until
2006 the BiD Challenge has been an initiative
and a project of NCDO. From 2007 onwards
the BiD Challenge organisation will develop into
an independent entity providing room for new
strategic partners.

BiD Challenge is fortunate that it can draw on
an extensive business and development expertise
in her network of commercial and development
partner organisations. The BiD Challenge is
matchmaking. We match entrepreneurs in need
of certain expertise to screeners and coaches with
that particular type of expertise.
In 2006, we recruited nearly 200 screeners and
141 coaches through our Dutch partner organisa-
tions and Hotspot locations in the Philippines and
Peru.
The BiD Challenge gives professionals the oppor-
tunity to offer their personal assistance to achieve
something concrete in developing countries.
Results from our evaluation and interviews with
screeners and coaches demonstrate that they
believe in the mission and set up of the BiD Chal-
lenge: notjusttalking,butactuallydoing
something.
Moreover, screeners and coaches are great
ambassadors for the BiD Challenge and the entre-
preneurs. They promote BiD within their personal
and professional network as well as the business
plans.
Hans Lubbers ING - Coach of 2006 fnalist
Kinley yangzom:
Making a business plan with an entrepreneur
and stimulating him or her to get a business going
is a much more appealing way to me to give sup-
port than anonymously donating money without
knowing how its being used.
Two years of BiD Challenge experience confrms
the tremendous enthusiasm among employees as
they are offered the opportunity by their employer
to use their skills for poverty reduction. It creates
company pride, internal and external networking,
synergy and joy. Entering the BiD Challenge as a
company means a whole lot of opportunities!

young people are innovative, fexible and
knowledgeable about new trends and
technologies - all characteristics of successful
entrepreneurs. This is why we gave students an
extra incentive to participate in the BiD
Challenge.
This year we received 74 student ideas from 28
different countries. The Round 1 Student Jury
selected the eleven most potential ideas for Round
2. These eleven participants were matched with
Student Coaches, who assisted the authors in
writing a bankable business plan.
Eight participants submitted a complete business
plan. The decision who would become the winner
of the Student Award 2006 was charged to the
Round 2 Jury. The choice was hard; there were
several plans with potential, but there could be
only one winner.
Joel Abiera (20) from
the Philippines was the
lucky one. With Iris
Stouten as his devoted
coach, Joel developed
PINyAS (Pineapple
INdustry for youth And
Society). His plan is
an attempt to assist in
the development of the rural sector; the pineapple
farmers, the youth and women, as they engage
in the processing of a crop, known in the local
dialect as pinyas, which means small
pineapple. Congratulations Joel!

THEy did it! 160 entrepreneurs worldwide converted their vision into complete and bankable business
plans. The BiD Network is there to support yOU to fnd them and vice versa. Business in Development is
a joint effort and you are a part of it.
We are happy to see that the Challenge generates an abundance of plans, motivated entrepreneurs,
enthusiast partners, supportive employees, establishment of BiD businesses 2005 and lots of interest for
follow up in 2006. It seems that we developed a tool which enables everyone to directly engage his or
her expertise or network for poverty reduction through proft.
However, we keep on improving the BiD Challenge to stimulate entrepreneurship which maximises the
development impact per Euro invested. We are ready to continue in 2007, professionalise, and expand
locally.
A big thank you goes out to everyone involved in this years Challenge and we hope to see you next
year live or in the BiD Network.

There is goat milk production in Zambia,
now we need to turn the surplus milk into
an economic activity. This production unit
and sales company will purchase fresh goat
milk from farmers in the area, process it into
yoghurt, and sell it.
proftable within 2 years
Needs
Since fresh milk should not be transported
over a long distance, we need land in the
vicinity of the milk suppliers. Besides, we
need machines for food safe production of
yoghurt, and more milk suppliers as the
business scales up.
main needs: land & machinery
Development
The plan will create employment, generating
an income for many families. These will also
use the milk for their own beneft, increas-
ing the quality of their diet. The area will
build up knowledge gained by training, and
economic motivation for the production of
goat milk.
targeted MDGs: 1 & 3
Personal
Being a young Zambian national currently
studying in the Netherlands, I spent several
years as a farmer after graduation from high
school. I have a general interest in agricul-
ture, and wish to show the potential that
goat milk has in bringing economic develop-
ment to the rural folk.

The plan is to provide private Spanish
lessons to people in Western countries via
the internet. Economically this is attrac-

Fair Ventures works on poverty reduction through proft in developing countries. We do this
by actively engaging companies and their employees through market-oriented sustainable
development. Fair Ventures is developer and organiser of the BiD Challenge.
The National Committee for Sustainable Development (NCDO) is an independent, neutral
organisation uniquely embedded and positioned in Dutch society. Its core goal is to strength-
en and highlight public support for international cooperation and sustainable development
and achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
