About the course
Value chains encompass the full range of activities and services required to bring a product or service from its conception to sale in its final markets—whether local, national, regional, or global. Value chains include input suppliers, producers, processors, and buyers, as well as the support services and enabling environments that form a dynamic market system.
This course is aimed at equipping the participants with principles and practices of the value chain management. The participants will understand the designing and managing, monitoring and evaluating value chain projects and creating market linkages.
