| Summary: | This paper examines interventions that
seek to address firm-level capabilities and access to
markets in an integrated fashion. Examples of such
interventions include supplier development programs (linking
domestic SMEs in developing countries with large buyers,
such as foreign investors that are part of global or
regional value chains) and export development efforts (which
work with firms beyond purely funding activities to explore
and pursue opportunities in foreign markets). These programs
aim to assist firms with upgrading, targeted toward the
specific market opportunities in the value chains in which
they operate or aim to compete. |
