Market System Development & Value Chain Analysis
GRMCS offers Market System Development (MSD) and Value Chain Analysis (VCA) services to support inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Our expert team works closely with development organizations, government bodies, and private sectors to identify market constraints, map opportunities, and co-create solutions that empower marginalized producers, entrepreneurs, and workers.
End-to-End Value Chain Mapping & Analysis
We conduct comprehensive value chain assessments to understand the full scope of economic activities — from input provision to end markets. This helps identify inefficiencies, gaps, and opportunities to improve competitiveness and inclusivity across the chain.
Market Systems Diagnosis and Strategy Development
Using a systems-thinking approach, we analyze how core market functions, supporting services, and formal/informal rules interact. We then design evidence-based, context-specific strategies to address root causes of underperformance in markets.
Inclusive Business Model Design
We support the development of business models that are both profitable and socially inclusive. Our approach ensures that smallholders, youth, and marginalized groups are integrated into market systems as active participants and beneficiaries.
Gender and Youth-Sensitive Market Research
We embed gender and youth perspectives in all stages of research and analysis to uncover unique challenges and opportunities faced by these groups. This enables more equitable and targeted interventions that promote social inclusion.
Stakeholder Engagement & Facilitation
We bring together diverse stakeholders — including private sector actors, government agencies, NGOs, and community members — to foster dialogue, build trust, and co-create sustainable solutions that align with local needs.
Monitoring and Adaptive Learning Frameworks
We develop tools and frameworks for real-time monitoring, reflection, and adaptive learning. This ensures that market interventions are responsive to change, informed by feedback, and continuously improved for greater impact.
