Improving infrastructure including facilities such as sales pens, loading ramps, scales and transport

Improving access to markets which will improve physical access as well as removing institutional and policy-related barriers

Improving information flow which promotes participation and confidence in markets

Providing access to credible information by vetting it before dissemination through alternative pathways of information exchange

IPs improve policy by
