Strengthening Operational Systems for Sustainable Trade

Effective value chains are the foundation of functional commodity markets. At the Stratum Institute, we focus on creating value chains that are efficient, transparent, and sustainable. This includes strengthening relationships between service providers, producers, and buyers, and ensuring fair practices at every step of the chain.
Our work emphasizes operational efficiency and equitable participation, addressing challenges such as supply chain bottlenecks, resource inefficiencies, and exploitative practices. By working with stakeholders across the value chain, we aim to create systems that support livelihoods, protect natural resources, and deliver value to all participants.
Projects will focus on improving service delivery, optimizing operations, and fostering collaboration between value chain actors to build more resilient ecosystems.
