Through the Accenture funded Improving Market Access for the Poor project (IMA4P), VSO is working in Malawi to promote enterprise-based development to enable people living in poverty, especially women, to participate in agricultural value chains. The approach will create systemic change by permanently removing barriers to market participation for vulnerable people. Barriers that will be addressed include: lack of basic skills (e.g. financial literacy, farm management, negotiation, and marketing), technical training and infrastructural support, land tenure, access to credit and agricultural inputs, and access to markets and market information.
