Market systems solutions to tackle COVID 19 Impact: using Business Model Canvas as a tool to pivot

Development interventions in the context of COVID-19 need to be seen from the perspective of how the pandemic has impacted the value chains and market systems, what the long-term implications are and how these can be tackled for revival and sustenance of inclusive growth.

Using Business Model Canvas (BMC), the training will:

• look at the structure of the BMC – why it is, how it is?
• examine the relevance of BMC to development impact/ social or inclusive benefits
• discuss interconnectedness of the nine elements of BMC
• enable trainees to learn to make adjustments to the BMC to design inclusive interventions
• enable trainees to learn to make adjustments to the BMC to tackle COVID 19 impacts, who is the ultimate consumer and why s/he is important in intervention planning
