Description
The project's overall objective is to support integrated value chain development in four landlocked commodity dependent developing economies (Ethiopia, Laos, Mongolia, and Uzbekistan) through enhancing their capacities in development policies and strategies to promote better integration into regional and global value chains (RVCs and GVCs), and create development linkages at the national, interregional and intercontinental levels.

Synopsis

The project supported four Landlocked Commodity Dependent Developing Countries (CDDCs), Ethiopia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mongolia and Uzbekistan, to enhance their capacities in developing policies and strategies that promote better integration into regional and global value chains (RVC, GVC), and create development linkages at the national, interregional, and intercontinental levels.

Besides improving the beneficiary countries’ statistical and analytical capacity to formulate policies, the project promoted the private sector’s capacity in assessing market prospects, identifying market opportunities, and overcoming market barriers.

The project also promoted south-south learning and enhanced knowledge and exchange of experience among policymakers and private entrepreneurs from landlocked CDDCs.
