Listen to Rita Laker-Ojok's remarks at the 2017 Market Systems Global Learning and Evidence Exchange (GLEE) in Dakar, Senegal. 

The Feed the Future Global Performance Evaluation suggests that, even after five years into Feed the Future, we don't have a shared understanding of value chain development.  With the GFSS aspiring toward a market systems approach, the challenge of clarifying concepts and practices becomes even more pressing.

Laker-Ojok outlines how the agriculture inputs activity used to promote changes within a market systems approach worked for the agriculture inputs sector in Uganda. Laker-Ojok talks about being tasked with commissioning a mid-project strategic assessment based on an original theory of change.  She gives details about the assessment's findings relative to the market system incentives and the necessity to change the rules of the game. Learn how changing the roles of the private sector and other actors within the system resulted in a revised theory of change.
