Building Competitiveness in Africa's Agriculture

This comprehensive guide looks at different approaches to value chain, together with told and examples- take a look it is unbiased and does not support one specific approach. This will soon become an interactive resource and I will share as soon as it is. Definitely worth reading ahead of undertaking value chain activities whether done in-house or consultants are commissioned. Gwen

Seventy-five percent of the world’s poor live in rural areas and most are involved in agriculture. In the 21st century, agriculture remains fundamental to economic growth, poverty alleviation, and environmental sustainability. The World Bank’s Agriculture and Rural Development publication series presents recent analyses of issues that affect the role of agriculture, including livestock, fisheries, and forestry, as a source of economic development, rural livelihoods, and environmental services. This Guide to value chain approaches provides the user with actionable methods and tools to design programs and investment projects that aim to increase the productivity and performance of sub-Saharan African agriculture. Value chains are a key framework for understanding how inputs and services are brought together and then used to grow, transform, or manufacture a product; how the product then moves physically from the producer to the customer; and how value increases along the way.Thanks to USAID BGI for uploading into the public domain.

The recently completed Kigezi Business Development Services (BDS) project aimed at promoting the development of BDS markets that service enterprises undertaken by poor and marginalized people. The project is a good example of an NGO (Care), the private sector and government agencies pooling resources in a collaborative fashion with participation from local governments, albeit these LG-project links were of more ad-hoc/pragmatic nature; not at the strategic level.

District Development Program III, Uganda

The UNCDF supported District Development Program III (DDPIII) in Uganda contains support to many LED processes.The DDPIII aims at building systems and methodologies to enhance the role of local governments in promoting LED and acting effectively to coordinate the actions of LED promotion actors, enhance the local business enabling environment and invest strategically in economic infrastructure. The DDP III is thus an excellent example of attempts to promote LED both at central and local level. Moreover, the DDP III has recently developed an M&E system which includes indicators that can serve as inspiration elsewhere.
