Value Chain Analysis for Development/Evidence
Method evidence record

Value Chain Analysis for Development

Value Chain Analysis examines the full sequence of activities required to bring a product or service from conception through production to final consumers and beyond, asking who does what, who governs the chain, and how the value created is distributed among participants. In its development and pro-poor variant, codified in Kaplinsky and Morris's IDS handbook and grounded in Gereffi's global-value-chain theory, the method is used to identify how poor producers and workers can capture a larger or more secure share of value through upgrading and inclusion.
