Gender-sensitive approaches to value chain development

Practical advice, recommendations and good practices for programmes seeking to adopt a more gender-sensitive approach to value chain development.

This guide focuses on each of the three key stages of the value chain development process:

• Strategy
• Analysis
• Action

The numbering of the different sections in this complementary guide corresponds to those of the Value chain development for decent work.

The Strategy section looks at sector selection and the different ways this can be done to promote gender equality objectives. 

The Analysis section delves deeper into the specifics of conducting a gender-sensitive market systems analysis for a given sector. 

And finally, the Action section considers the gender-related practicalities of the implementation phase.
