LIVES Zones and their commodities
The project staff and
partner institutions will
provide training of trainers
(TOT). Then support this
capacity development
through regular coaching
and mentoring sessions at
field and supervisory levels.
Capturing, storing and sharing
knowledge through various
interventions will ‘fuel’ the value
chain development process and
complement capacity
development interventions in
project target areas.
To reach value chain actors
and service providers outside
the project’s target areas,
promotional activities will be
undertaken to scale out
results nationally and
internationally.
Using innovation systems and
value chain approaches tested
and validated, organizational
and institutional innovations
and improved technologies to
develop the selected
commodity value chains will
be introduced and promoted.
To ‘feed’ the other project
components, project lessons
and results will be
documented through strategic
diagnostic, action and impact
studies by project staff in
partnership with regional,
national and international
research institutes.
