Leveraging the Services Sector for Inclusive Value Chains in Developing Countries

The paper Leveraging the Services Sector for Inclusive Value Chains in Developing Countries analyses how increased competitiveness in services can drive sustainable development opportunities in value chains in developing countries. By arranging the services components of value chains in the most socially and economically optimal manner, new opportunities for the private sector can emerge, domestic supply-side capacity can be enhanced, and steps towards the achievement of sustainable development objectives can be made.
