The Global Distributors Collective

The Global Distributors Collective (GDC) is a collective of last mile distributors around the world. We have over 120 members in over 40 countries, who cumulatively have sold more than 8 million life-changing products to last mile households.

We are dedicated to supporting and representing last mile distribution companies to help them reach underserved customers with life-changing products like solar lights, clean cookstoves, water filters and nutrition products.

Our purpose is to make last mile distribution the first priority so that life-changing products can be made affordable and available to all.

Finding the sweet spot: a report from the GDC

This research highlights the opportunity for last mile distributors to access price-competitive, quality off-grid solar products, which currently are difficult to identify. Our findings will help distributors and others to find products in a 'price-quality sweet spot' to better serve customers at the last mile.

The GDC's impact to date: taking stock

Formally launched in October 2018, the GDC has been working for the past 18 months to help its members improve business performance and grow, and to build a collective voice for the last mile distribution sector. Here, we reflect on how far we’ve come, key lessons learned, and future plans.
