Value Chain Development for more and better jobs

The ILO approach focuses on improving value chains that offer opportunities to generate wealth, create jobs, and enhance job quality. For each specific market, the ILO looks at how products get to the final consumer, the market dynamics, and relationships between the different actors in the chain. The aim is to strengthen whole market systems - enterprises, business relationships, market structures, and the business environment – in a way that ensures greater benefits for the poor from economic growth and development.
