inclusive market development in the region.

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

specific aims:

• Conduct a rapid desk literature review by compiling existing studies, strategies,

market reports, and socioeconomic data, identifying a long list of potential value

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

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

prioritization.

• Develop value chain prioritization criteria: Use a systematic, evidence-based

approach to identify high-potential value chains. Prioritization will consider

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.

• For prioritized Value chains, Assess Production and Value Addition: evaluate

current production volumes and identify productivity gaps. Examine

opportunities for enhanced value addition at various stages, improved processing

techniques, effective marketing strategies, and export prospects to maximize

returns for value chain actors.

issues related to inputs, infrastructure, technology, financing, policy, and market

access. Simultaneously identify untapped opportunities for innovation, efficiency

gains, and market expansion.
