Value Chains for Vulnerable Populations

Speakers Corner #32 on "Value Chains for Vulnerable Populations"

How can value chains include and support populations affected by conflict, natural disaster, or HIV/AIDS?  Hosted by Ben Fowler, Luis Osorio (Practical Action), Christian Pennotti (AED) and Beatrice Kinyanjui (EMG), this discussion explored how value chain development programs can effectively include vulnerable populations, what social and market changes can happen during a crisis, and how to adjust activities to the particular situation and population you are working with. Daily topics in this Speakers Corner included: involving vulnerable populations, the politics of crisis, and adjusting practice to context.
