Where to find sources of funding for Sustainable Development projects

[TheSpeck]

I admit I am new to this. I volunteer my time for a company that works with artisanal small scale miners in producing ethical gold. This company then sells the gold under it's brand name to high end designers and reinvests a large portion of it's profits back into the sourcing communities. Working with the community leaders and local NGOs, they identify a need be it micro financing, training, tools, a school within that community to help build. It is fascinating work and has a great business model. I am interested in speaking to anyone that has worked in the extraction industry or has assisted in taking a SME (small medium enterprise) and helped identify sources of capital.

The US venture capital industry, which has become an important source of capital for technology start-ups around the world, is facing a severe shake-out that will lead to a contraction in future investments, according to some of Silicon Valley’s leading financiers.

These warnings follow one of the weakest years ever seen for profit-taking by start-up investors, and come amid predictions of an even worse period ahead. Only six companies that were backed by venture capital went public last year, the lowest numbers since the 1970s.Over the past few months, governments have approved €3,500bn ($4,940bn, £3,430bn) in rescue packages for banks. Germany’s own package, steamrollered through parliament, amounts to €540bn – exceeding even the US measures. Still, in the eyes of many, Germany is not doing all it can to prop up the economy. To cap it all, its bank rescue package is hobbled by what could prove to be a fatal flaw.

Germany is more severely affected by the sub prime crisis than was first assumed. With its substantial capital exports of €170bn in 2007, after China the country was the largest lender in the international capital market that the US tapped to finance its spending. As Americans stopped saving and used mortgages to finance consumer spending, the US took on more foreign debt. Recently US capital imports amounted to more than $600bn a year, a massive 5.5 per cent of gross domestic product, surpassing historical precedents. To attract the money, US banks created new types of securities, such as mortgage-backed securities.

Manufacturing surveys reflect simultaneous contraction in manufacturing throughout the G7 and in key emerging markets like China, Brazil and Russia verifying the global recession that is well on course. PMI and Industrial production is at at least decade lows in key emerging markets and US and EU PMI surveys reflect the weakest levels in several decades.

China's monthly trade surplus has reached record highs in recent months -- hitting 40.1 billion dollars in November -- but mainly because imports have dropped precipitously as the nation's own economy cools.
China's growth is being severely affected by the global economic crisis, especially as overseas markets for the nation's exports begin to dry up.The World Bank has forecast that the Chinese economy will grow by just 7.5 percent in 2009, a level not seen in 19 years.
