Quality education and increased economic opportunities are important needs for the growing youth population in Africa. And for women in particular, an empowered woman with access to quality education, healthcare and economic opportunities can make informed decisions about her reproductive health, influencing the health behaviors of herself and her family. Furthermore, we reinforce equity in development policies for youth and women by optimizing data systems to include demographic information such as gender, age and socio-economic status.

It is a powerful tool for identifying opportunities for job creation, innovation, and value generation. Value chain analysis involves breaking down the production process into a series of distinct activities, and then examining each activity to identify potential areas for improvement.
