Value Chain Development and Market Systems Development – Somalia

Under sub-contract from DAI Europe, KasmoDev provided the Team Leader position to head up the DFID and DANIDA funded Promoting Inclusive Markets in Somalia (PIMS) Program. This 3-year M4P program carried out sector/value chain analyses of the Somalia sesame, lime/lemon, banana, ocean fisheries, dairy, and poultry value chains, and implemented support programs for four of these value chains. The implementation involved strengthening the private sector through investment cost-share (grants) aimed at generating employment, leveraging private sector investment, and increasing incomes, with the overarching goal of reducing poverty and bringing about inclusive economic growth.
