This operational guidance note introduces key features of MSD and shares the lessons of experienced DFAT MSD programme managers to help staff design and manage MSD programmes.
This guidance responds to a growing demand for information about the approach. It is based on three programmes that pioneered the approach within DFAT, and is applicable to managers of a new set of MSD
programmes that have emerged recently in response to current policy directions and strategies.
The guidance will also be of interest to managers of DFAT’s other private sector and value-chain development programmes.
