Sector Value Chain Development Process

• As a first step, we guide producers, suppliers, providers in services sectors, buyers and other value chain stakeholders through market orientation and a sector development planning approach that emphasizes market-pull instead of supply-push.
• We then provide technical assistance inputs, coaching and mentoring to help sector stakeholders comply with market requirements such as design, performance, delivery and documentation. We also facilitate linkages to new markets and buyers.

Taking a holistic and market-driven view of the entire value chain from “consumer-to-supplier” creates the right environment for sector-wide development. With sound information and good policies, enterprises can decide for themselves how to make improvements that differentiate their products and services and allow them to capture the gains in domestic and international markets, including greater participation in global value chains.
