Peace Dividend Trust (PDT) is a nonprofit social enterprise that build markets and create jobs to sustain peace in developing countries by championing local entrepreneurs and connecting them to new business opportunities. Operating in Liberia, Timor-Leste, Haiti and Afghanistan, PDT has redirected over $1.1 billion in international spending into these local economies and helped to create over 120,000 jobs. In 2010, the Skoll Foundation recognized PDT as one of a handful of social enterprises affecting measurable and sustainable change in the developing world. U.S. President Obama awarded the organization the G20 SME Finance Challenge prize at the annual heads of state gathering in Seoul, Korea in November 2010.
