This report provides field-level practitioners with tools and applications to reach very poor households. The intended outcome of the Field Guide is to have greater market engagement for very poor households through enterprise development activities.
The tools and discussions in this Field Guide are applicable when:
- The most strategic sectors that practitioners will be working in have been selected
- Appropriate value chain analysis has been completed
- Producer-level constraints have been identified as being critical in terms of strengthening a value chain and/or targeting benefits to very poor households
The Field Guide is applicable for use in the following contexts:
- Agricultural and non-agricultural contexts (although the focus is predominantly on agricultural production contexts)
- Development organisation project staff working with mainly rural producers
