Document: Mbombela PACA Case Study

This case study describes the application of a variation of the PACA methodology as applied to the Tourism and Business Services sectors of Mbombela, Mpumalanga, South Africa. The variation of the PACA methodology seemed to improve the quality of project selection, the commitment to project implementation and eventual scale of impact. Sector value chain mapping was introduced as a framework for data collection, analysis and project selection. The sequence of activities was changed to reduce diagnostic risk and increase levels of commitment to implementation.
