<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN><FONT>This course combines value chain analysis
and market based solutions (MBSs) to cater for the requirements of business and
enterprises. Value chain analysis helps in the identification of markets,
relationship between firms, and challenges that hinder organizational growth.
MBS is made possible with the collaboration of markets and private sector in
addressing the challenges of value chain. Therefore, this course is anchored by
the goal of equipping participants to the development of sustainable value
chains. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
