The overall objective of this assignment is to carry out a Value Chain Analysis and Market assessment of potential and relevant value chains.

Through a value chain analysis, the project shall identify localized private sector-led climate resilient and nutrition sensitive value chains which are used mostly by vulnerable women and youth.  The project shall then prioritize 4-6 key value chains and map out the key value chain actors in the provinces of Ghor, Daikundi and Badakhshan, with emphasizes on value chains whereas women will have a significant role and on existing value chains which can be engendered. This shall be followed by capacity mapping of the value chain actors and linkage of targeted farmers and MSME beneficiaries to value chain actors with capacity to support them with quality inputs and information. Potential private sector traders and companies are identified with emphasis on developing market pathways to identified business options in the provinces of Ghor, Daikundi and Badakhshan, with specific focus where women play a significant role in the product value chain. The report on value chain capacity gaps shall be shared with other actors for further support of the value chains to cover gaps that are beyond the scope of this project.
