The technical note aims to help country programme managers and project design teams to understand the transformation of agriculture and modern value chains and how this knowledge can be used to benefit the financial access and delivery processes; how to develop value chain financial services that benefit all types of farmers and agribusiness firms within value chains and the country as a whole; and the best way to develop a programme implementation strategy that will strengthen priority value chains through interventions that address capacity needs and financing, policy and support infrastructure requirements.
