description:

LOCA/VCD which improved understanding of market systems: the project moved from a focus on LOCA, which helped identify 'quick win' solutions as well as priority value chains, to a more comprehensive value chain approach, first at the local level and then also at the regional level. The value chain approach enabled a more market orientation and prioritisation of what the project calls 'proposals'. It also enabled better involvement of all relevant stakeholders such as larger companies. Stakeholders were very much involved in this evolution and have therefore been able to directly learn which approaches work best for them. The downside is the amount of time these analytical approaches took, which caused some frustration amongst the Facilitators.
