3. The VCA4D studies update
0
Under Phase II of VCA4D a number of update studies are to be completed. The updates will be demand driven and in order to be meaningful, are expected to take place at least two/three years after the conclusion of the first VCA study. They will concern in the first place the earliest VCAs conducted since 2016.
This activity is strategic for lesson learning, as it will permit to see if and how the indicators on the VC have evolved in between the two analyses. This could provide important information and insights in particular if new projects and policies have been implemented in the meantime, allowing to understand the functioning and the dynamics of value chains, and to stock and capitalize lessons learnt.
