The document discusses knowledge gaps around the impact of value chain development (VCD) on poverty reduction. It presents the 5Capitals assessment tool, which takes an asset-based approach to evaluate how VCD affects livelihood assets and business performance. Case studies applying this tool in various countries revealed that VCD alone has limited impact on asset building for those below a minimum asset threshold. The document proposes that ICRAF use the 5Capitals tool to assess VCD options for underutilized fruits in select countries, to better understand how to design pro-poor interventions.
