Sammendrag
The use of system dynamics tools can add valuable insights when
identifying and evaluating priorities for pro-poor value chain upgrading.
However, to better understand the complex systems in agricultural value
chains and to develop useful models, a participatory modelling process
is important. This article highlights the group model building process of
the dairy value chain in Matiguás, Nicaragua, one of a few examples of
participatory model building in developing countries. The results confirm
several benefits with participatory system dynamics modelling, including
team learning, a greater understanding of the value of modelling, and a
tool for decision-making and priority setting.
