TRR 228 Future Rural Africa C01 Future in Chains. Socio-economic impacts of growth corridors
Description:
Growth corridors are one again gaining attention as possible avenues of future development in sub-Saharan Africa. Multi-stakeholder initiatives integrate rural areas into global value chains in order to achieve socio-economic development.
