Course on Value Chain Development
MDF Training and Consultancy
Mar 26 - Mar 30, 2012 / Ede, Netherlands
Value Chain Development
Value Chain Analysis enables us to understand competitive challenges and to identify vertical coordination mechanisms. Value Chain Development aims to improve access to markets and increase productive efficiency, ensuring that all actors including the resource-poor, benefit from these value chains.
Participants
You are an expert on private sector development in need of practical tools to analyse chains and design interventions. You are working for an NGO, searching for instruments to assist your target group. You are working for a donor, steering the process that leads to leveraged interventions. You are working for a governmental organisation, looking for approaches enabling pro-poor value chain development. You are working for a company longing to integrate small farmers in its supply chain.
Course objectives
By the end of the course you will be able to design value chain development projects. You will learn to analyse sub sectors and value chains, and to apply practical tools to select value chains that have potential for pro-poor growth. You will enhance your analytical skills to determine market requirements and identify competitive challenges. You will understand the different roles that relevant stakeholders play in developing value chains and learn to develop matching strategies. You will be able to recognise prevailing value chain models and be familiar to facilitative and financial instruments.
