- comments:
- Selected communities/villages were linked to the value chain of the selected lead firms through intermediaries such as the Milk Collection Centres (MCC).
- challenges:
- The market system development approach targeted the suppliers and intermediaries of the Dairy Value Chain, equipping the farmers, through a series of formal and structured as well as informal interactions, with training and advice aiming at increasing the quantity and quality of milk produced. Moreover, consultative capacity building activities was targeted at the Milk Collection Centres (MCC) to upgrade the milk collection, testing and transfer to the lead and anchor firms linking 400 milk providers to 2 MCCs thereby bypassing informal middlemen.
- success:
- This practice can be replicated in any project implemented by the ILO where there is sufficient preparation time, for example in different rural regions of Egypt and in rural areas of other countries.
- context:
- The design of the precise intervention models for a selected economic sector or value chain was based on comprehensive Market System Analyses (MSA) which although taking quite some time during the project implementation (4 – 5 months) are useful to develop the appropriate activities.
- description:
- The use of the market system development approach and the Value Chain Model for rural development focusing on the linkages (‘RAWABET’) between key actors along the chain is a Good Practice.
- administrative_issues:
- • The Project is linked to the resolution adopted in 2016 by the International Labour Conference (ILC) concerning decent work in global supply chains.
• The project contributes to advancing Agenda 2030 on Decent Work for All.
• ILO Global Flagship Programme “Better Work” based in ILO HQ Geneva.
