  1. A Framework for Integrated Value Chain Development in Mountain Areas

  2. Overview • Rational for the VC approach • The special case of mountains • Need to adapt – Methodology • Glancing in… • ICIMODs regional approach

  3. Rationale – Value Chain Approach ‘Allows us to understand who earns what, why, and what opportunities exist to improve returns towards mountain communities” • Gain overview of the complete chain structure and dynamics • Target interventions at strategic leverage points • Consider both business and socio-environmental elements • Contextualizeable to mountain context

  4. Advantages of a regional focus • Most HKH value chains are regional or global •  Need for better understanding of trans-border VCs* Specific cross-border challenges (access; visibility) • High potential for trans-boundary learning* livelihood approaches for poor* business models/technologies* policy solutions • Identification of common regional, mountain specific opportunities, challenges • Promotion of location specific VC solutions Status Potential Objective

  5. ICIMOD’s Regional Strategy • Raise awareness for VC approach, build in-house capacity, confirm interest of RMCs (Dec 07 – March 08) • Implement value chain development pilots with partner (2008-2012)

  6. ICIMOD’s Regional Strategy • Raise awareness for VC approach, build in-house capacity, confirm interest of RMCs (Dec 07 – March 08) • Implement value chain development pilots with partner (2008-2012) • Design sustainable, pro-poor VC methodology for mountains (2009) • Facilitate establishment of regional VC knowledge and exchange platforms (boundary partners, development agencies, international VC experts) (2009 onwards) • Do analytical work at regional level on key mountain value chains (2010 onwards)

  7. By 2012 we expect … • Boundary partners are enabled to identify and promote sustainable and pro-poor mountain VCs • Mountain specific, pro-poor and sustainable value chain methodology adapted in the HKH • RMCs use interregional exchange platforms for country-specific knowledge and experience sharing to identify VC solutions that reduce poverty and protect the environment • Income of poor and disadvantaged groups increased in pilot sites • Natural resource conservation and livelihood generation balanced • RMCs upscale learning of ICIMOD’s regional VC pilots
