dc.description.abstractValue Chain (VC-ARID) tests the hypothesis that there are two pathways for climate-resilient economic development in semi-arid lands. The first is through upgrading key value chains, such as cotton and beef (vertical transformation). The second is through diversification within the sectors or into related tertiary sectors, such as milk or tourism (horizontal transformation). The VC-ARID method considers: characteristics of semi-arid production, vulnerability to climate change risks, ecological and ecosystem conditions, informal and formal chains of production, and gender dimensions of economic activities. The paper describes the process of mapping value chains and how to identify options drawn from the data.en
