Toolkit outline
Objectives of the rapid value chain assessment Process tools:
- Process guidelines: activities, steps to organize the team (roles), tailoring of tools for the specific VC context, implementation of data collection and analysis, write up, time-frame
- Protocol: sampling framework, coding
Data collection instruments:
- Checklists
- Questionnaires
- Instruments for GD
Training manuals: manual + tools for training (to train core team / value chain coordinators to use the tools) Databases Outline of the report
Data collection instruments
Modules by:
- Actor level:
Service providers (extension, credit, veterinary etc.) Input suppliers (feed, seed, breeding) Producers Traders Processors Retailers Consumers
- Mixed groups of VC actors for identification of linkages
- Sector / national level (for target chain and feed, seed, veterinary)
- Institutions (enabling environment e.g. NGOs, NARS, ARIs, Development agencies, interest groups, industry & producer associations)
Distinguish by channel Ensure gender mainstreaming
