Market Assessment Study

During my Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) placement I facilitated a value chain analysis for the chicken market in Sambour in rural Cambodia. This was carried out within an existing framework, and used as a mechanism to develop skills an knowledge among staff at my partner organisation. A final report was prepared with analysis of the findings and recommendations for interventions to improve market access for chicken farmers in Sambour.

Key Responsibilities

  • Facilitating the design and execution of the research.
  • Conducting training and coaching for the research team using participatory methods.
  • Preparing the final report, with recommendations, for donors and other stakeholders.

Testimonial
