Policy statement on Value Chain Finance

by Team e-MFP, 4 Feb 2011

This draft note focuses on ‘good practice’ of donors and financiers in the field of value chain finance (VCF). While in a growing number of publications[1], 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. It is this aspect that the Rural Finance Action Group of the European Microfinance Platform aimed to address.
