Enterprise Works/VITA (EWV) based in Washington DC is an international not-for-profit organization working to combat poverty through economic development programs based on sustainable, enterprise-oriented solutions. By supporting profit-making enterprises to create employment and to increase productivity and profits, EWV addresses the challenges of rural, peri-urban, and urban development.

EWV reduces poverty and raises living standards in developing countries by identifying opportunities for economic growth among small-scale businesses — increasing employment and incomes along the entire value chain. EWV has developed a sustainable approach for promoting appropriate technologies, building markets, expanding trade, and broadening access to financing, with an emphasis on irrigated horticulture, tree crops, agro-processing, household energy, natural products, and potable water.
