How to Support Value Chain Finance in a Smart Way - Policy Statement

Prepared by Mariel Mensink, Terrafina and Joost de la Rive Box, in collaboration with the e-MFP Rural Outreach and Innovation Action Group, June 2011. 

This policy statement focuses on ‘good practice’ of donors and financiers in the field of value chain finance (VCF). While in a growing number of publications, the lessons learned and best practices of value chain finance for practitioners in developing countries have been described, much less is published about how ‘northern’ actors can best support these interventions.
