Action for Enterprise (AFE) is offering a five-day workshop that presents the latest methodologies and practice for designing value-chain programs that incorporate strategies for sustainable impact. Participants will learn how to design programs that result in market-based solutions to MSME constraints such as market access, input supply, technology/product development, management training, policy reform, and access to finance. Examples will be used from enterprise development programs and practitioners worldwide.

This field manual by the Women’s Refugee Commission has been developed to provide practitioners with usable information and helpful tools so that they can design and implement more effective livelihood programs — programs that are based on market demand and are contextually appropriate; programs that build on the existing skills and experience within the target population; and programs that enhance the dignity and options for the displaced.
