The Harvard Kennedy School Corporate Responsibility Initiative looks at what is needed to boost investment in value chains, especially from small and medium enterprises in Africa. A mapping of companies with investment potential is pitted alongside a model of the building blocks to attract commercial investment into SMEs in order to improve access to nutritious and safe foods in low-income markets. Different financial models are assessed as incentives, which makes this a good addition to other resources on tax incentives.
