USAID/Burma’s Value Chains for Rural Development project (“the project”) is helping farmers, processors, and exporters improve the quality of selected commodities – soy, ginger, coffee, sesame and melons – and transact in more efficient, inclusive, and transparent ways. Now in its fifth and final year of implementation, this report highlights key cross-cutting learning since late 2014, grouped under success factors, the shift from direct delivery to facilitated services, challenges and adaptations, measuring market development outcomes, and documenting and sharing project learning. It complements assessments of value chain developments for each of the targeted commodities.
