Value Chain Development

1. A multi-faceted strategy actively being implemented by development actors in each of the 9 target value chains that is significantly increasing productivity and benefits to the poor, while minimizing impacts on the environment

Based on strategies and evidence generated by CRP3.7 and partners

Research is ongoing to address priority constraints in medium and longer term to sustain productivity growth

2. Proven value chain development approaches, methods and tools are being applied by the research and development communities globally

Impact pathway and outcomes

2.1 Sectoral & Policy Analysis

Pathway: CRP3.7 works with partners to conduct analyses and generate evidence and engage with policymakers and stakeholders to understand the whether and how the target value chain should be ‘enabled’ (economic, social, environmental)

Outcome: Consensus achieved among national and regional policymakers regarding pro-poor policies and investment strategies to support development of the 9 target value chains

Competitive viability of the target value chain, and particularly its pro-poor aspects, confirmed and recognized

Policymakers aware of implications of development and growth of the target value chains in terms of possible socio-economic and environmental trade-offs

Preliminary sets of methods and toolkits established for pro-poor VC development

VC development strategies established with partners in target VCs, with evidence base generated and stimulating development investment

VC needs are effectively informing priorities for technology research


Proposed Priority Outcomes & Outputs2012 2013 2014

Outcomes CRP3.7, local and international partners have established an R&D alliance to transform target VC in each country

1. Partners have capacity to use basic set of tools for VC assessment2. Stakeholders in each country are increasingly aware of potential, constraints and initial options for pro-poor development of target VC

Evidence base in each target VC for best-bet pro-poor VC development interventions is influencing development investment decisions



Outcomes R&D alliance 1. capacity to use tools 2. Stakeholders aware

Evidence base influencing decisions

Research Outputs

1. Scoping study to characterize target VC and identify stakeholders and potential partners2. Basic toolkit for VC assessment compiled for testing3. Analytical framework for assessing VC performance established4. Rapid assessment of target VC to inform design of in-depth assessment, and to identify preliminary priority constraints and best-bet upgrading strategies to test (including specific components on environmental impacts, food safety risk assessment and gender analysis)

1. Inventory and evidence base (literature review) for key constraints and proposed solutions compiled2. Quantitative assessment of VC performance3. Technical and economic assessments of key VC components to target for upgrading (e.g. farm-level: husbandry, feeds, breeds, health, environmental issues; market-level: institutional environment, food safety, demand characteristics; overall: policies, organizational strategies

1. Best-bet intervention strategy formulated and tested, ready for piloting
