Value Chain Case Study: Developing a Value Chain for a New Product in Compost

The Challenge: Creating a “New” Value Chain
The CHF Ghana Youth Engagement in Service Delivery (YES) Program is a learning initiative funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which supports the creation of employment opportunities for youth, especially in low-income and indigenous communities in Ghana. At its inception, the YES Program utilized an inclusive value chain approach to identify youth focused employment opportunities in the solid waste management value chain, and in the process, identified and pursued an opportunity to develop a new sub-sector value chain for compost in Accra, overcoming challenges and learning throughout the process. This case study presents the unique challenges the YES Program faced and the solutions it has implemented while growing and strengthening a new value chain.
