Programme Completion Review (PCR): supplemental report
This report responds to FCDO requests to identify the 'big picture' programme findings including lessons that can be learned from other market systems programmes in Africa and how these can be used to inform the forthcoming FCDO-supported Agriculture Transformation Ghana (ATG) programme.

It also considers the following four MSD programmes to help inform the ATG programme:
