Value Chain Projects
Why It Matters
• Nutrition-specific activities alone are insufficient – Scaling up 10 key nutrition-specific activities to 90% of
the population would only lead to a 20% reduction in malnutrition (IFPRI)
• Increasing incomes alone is insufficient
The series of actors and activities needed to bring a product or
service from conception to the final consumer.
