action_plan:

The project management team does not agree with this recommendation. During the project's design stage, an extensive in-depth value chain analysis was conducted by an international consultant. This analysis covered aspects such as the reasons for the inefficient functioning of products, inputs, producers, processes, logistics, as well as the end market. Furthermore, it also focused on areas such as services, rules, and regulations in identifying hindrances to developing the value chain, in addition to cross-cutting areas such as gender and disability inclusion. The project promoted the value chains of the selected sectors through private partnerships (Eight leading companies partnered with the project across six sectors). The companies that collaborated with the project also provided their full or partial input services/business development services to the end beneficiaries as envisaged in the partnership agreements. Additionally, the project facilitated companies linking with existing BDS providers to offer services to the farmers that the companies could not provide.
