Self-help groups – Unlocking formal finance for artisanal fishing communities
2024Also available in:
This fact sheet presents the FISH4ACP programme to improve access to credit and microfinance for fishing communities in Sao Tome and Principe. Around 200 people from five fishing communities, mostly women fish traders and fish processors, are organized into 10 self-help groups. This will allow them to pool their savings and pursue individual and joint financial goals. Consequently, the groups will have better access to financial services, enabling them to obtain working capital and expand their businesses. -
BookletDeveloping sustainable food value chains - Practical guidance for systems-based analysis and design
SFVC methodological brief
2024Also available in:
No results found.This brief outlines a rigorous and standardized approach for value chain analysis and design, taking a systems perspective to analyse and influence the behaviour and performance of value chain actors influenced by a complex environment. The brief also covers the design of upgrading strategies and associated development plans, based on the identification of root causes of value chain bottlenecks and using a participatory and multistakeholder approach. The brief is primarily based on FAO’s Sustainable Food Value Chain (SFVC) framework which promotes a systems-based development of agrifood value chains that are economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, as well as resilient to shocks and stressors. The end-product of the application of the methodology is a VC report with four components. The first two components, a functional analysis and a sustainability assessment, make up the VC analysis. The last two components, an upgrading strategy and a development plan, represent the VC design.
