Specific Objectives: The consultancy will achieve the primary objective through the following

chains aligned with national priorities, and reviewing policies, regulations, trade

dynamics, and climate vulnerabilities to inform evidence-based value chain

prioritization.

economic contribution (e.g., market demand and profitability), growth potential,

social impact (e.g., poverty reduction, gender equity, youth employment), and

environmental sustainability (e.g., climate resilience and resource efficiency).

• Data collection should combine statistical analysis, interviews, field visits,

surveys, and community insights to inform long-list screening, after which multi-

criteria scoring and ranking should be applied to generate a justified, evidence-

based final shortlist of priority value chains.
