Abstract
The theme of LIRNEasia’s 2010-2012 research cycle is Inclusive Knowledge Based Economies (KBEs). The research attempts to increase understanding of how ICTs, related infrastructure and/ or services can aid micro-enterprises by lowering their transactions costs especially those that arise from information and knowledge gaps. The research also aims to identify potential collective goods and how they may be supported. Inclusiveness is incorporated into research methodologies through greater emphasis on agricultural value chains, where the majority of the poor in developing Asia are employed. The report provides a review of a workshop held in Sri Lanka discussing value chain analysis.
