Start your own MicroConsignment Model initiative

There are numerous ways in which organizations can start their own MicroConsignment Model (MCM) initiatives and adapt the model to their own circumstances. The MCM can be started as an entirely new initiative or one that builds on current infrastructure as a complementary village impact and entrepreneurial mechanism. We have outlined our recommended implementation strategies below. These cascade from lower to higher initial time/financial investment  strategies. We recognize that there is certainly “no one size fits all” and that organizations may start with one strategy and move to another at another over time.
