Inclusive Market Development for Decent Work - the Lab (M4DW- the Lab)

The M4DW-the Lab is a research and knowledge generation project on how to quantify and maximize labour market outcomes of inclusive market development projects. This project supports SCORE and at least 4 other ILO / SECO projects. Jointly M4DW and the projects would fund and work on advancing knowledge in the following areas: A. Value Chain Development, Making Markets Work for the Poor (M4P) and Decent Work: by selecting value chains with the largest potential of employment creation and researching on how to better address working conditions in a value chain context that are complementary to enterprise level interventions. B.Improving M&E Systems: by fine tuning and auditing results chains, establishing a clear logic of interventions to lead to labour market impacts, measuring and qualitatively assessing the intended labour market results. C. National Intervention Capacity: by developing a model on how to transfer value chain analysis and development competencies to national-level institutions, for instance by dveloping training tools that address working conditions in a value chain context
