Value Chain Analysis (VCA)
For additional information consider visiting the following resources:
- The African Development Bank’s (AfDB) guidance note on fraud and corruption in infrastructure projects combines the VCA approach with a stakeholder analysis, aimed at better understanding the interactions between different actors at different points in the project cycle. This approach can be particularly helpful in complex projects where several actors are involved.
- The World Bank has also adapted the value chain approach to analyze process flows from a governance perspective in its own projects and sectors. The Bank’s "how-to" on VCAs for the governance and anti-corruption sector details three steps to conduct an effective VCA.
