dc.description.abstractThe authors examine whether and how the “bottom billion” people, living mainly in rural areas of low-income countries, can improve their position through productive strategies such as “upgrading.” A key concept for value chain analysis, upgrading refers to the acquisition of technological capabilities and market linkages that enable competitiveness and movement into higher-value activities. Research was conducted in Senegal, Mali, Tanzania, India, Nepal, the Philippines, and Vietnam with a focus on poverty, environment and gender outcomes of upgrading interventions. The project aimed to stimulate innovations in value chain analysis to integrate poverty and environmental aspects with effective participation in markets.en
