#Testimony | #PPVC training Like Dr Finda Bayo Diakhaté, some ISRA BAME's researchers benefited from an intensive training program on Policy Prioritization through Value Chain Analysis (PPVC). The Policy Prioritization through Value Chain Analysis (PPVC) approach is a vital tool in supporting governments, private investors, organizations to assess agricultural policy choices and investment decisions that maximize impact on growth, food security, and employment. Through the support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), and BFAP, Africa Network of Agricultural Policy Research Institutes is playing a pivotal role in scaling this approach across the continent. By training researchers, equipping governments with cutting-edge models, and launching the Modelling Service Centre, ANAPRI is laying the groundwork for more informed and impactful agricultural policies that will drive Africa’s growth in the years to come.
