Welcome to the Springfield Centre
The Springfield Centre is an independent consulting, training and research organisation specialising in private sector development in low and middle-income economies.
At the heart of our work is the conviction that successful, inclusive private sector development must be shaped by a stronger market orientation. Our goal is to change the way that private sector development is done.
We have particular expertise in the design, development and assessment of interventions in financial services, SME development, business services, the policy and regulatory environment and sector development.
