Course overview

Contributing to economic and social development

The Value Chain Analysis program mainly targets participants from non-European countries and/or NGOs who are active in these countries.

Social and economic developments are the corner stones for local economic growth. In order to achieve local economic growth, participation in the global economy is a necessity. However, participation of small businesses and farmers is often hampered by issues such as capital, infrastructure and knowledge. By assessing the gaps and opportunities in the value chains, policy makers and practitioners will be able to develop policies, programs and strategies that create added value for the local economy.

This has been a good experience and I have gained a lot of skills. The discussions were great and they have broaden my mind in solving different issues”
Christine Warimu Mwah, participant Value Chain Analysis program April 2018
