FIM will systematically feed inclusive market experiences from the private sector, the GoN or donor funded projects (FIM input partners) into the learning and planning structures of GoN (FIMs 'output partners'). These experiences will inform the role of GoN (FIMs client) in economic growth, gearing its approach to value chains towards systemic change. FIM contributes to the private sector component of CPAP, subcomponents II and IV.
