In the second year, I consolidated the initial findings on key sectors, productive capacity, and regional interdependencies in production into four manuscripts. Additionally, I developed a comprehensive questionnaire for the upcoming firm-level survey, which is scheduled to be carried out in the third year. This survey is designed to identify cross-border value chains that exhibit growth potential. Moreover, I initiated the groundwork for data collection by assembling and training local research teams in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, and Zambia. Furthermore, I forged research partnerships with policymakers from relevant ministries and agencies, fostering collaborative efforts in the field.
