The Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) have developed an approached referred to as Policy and Investment Prioritisation through Value chain analysis (PPVC). PPVC is a replicable and market-led approach developed to assist policymakers to prioritise cost-effective policies and investments. It is based on a combination of modelling platforms, and detailed analytics combined with a stepwise approach to narrow down and rank selected value chains according to their ability to drive inclusive agricultural transformation.
BFAP and IFPRI recently partnered with the MwAPATA Institute and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) to implement this approach in Malawi. The report of the first phase of the project has been released, presenting a ranking of selected value chains that can drive inclusive agricultural transformation in Malawi.
The PPVC report for Malawi can be downloaded here.
