Do the Impacts of MSD Activities Sustain and Scale After Close?

Written By Cate Urban

As part of a series of ex-post studies conducted 3+ years after implementation ended, USAID is building the evidence base for sustainability, scale, and impact on target populations from use of the market systems development (MSD) approach.

Key Findings

  • The majority of system changes underway at Activity closure sustained, evolved, and scaled.

  • These are contributing to sector competitiveness and growth.

  • Despite withdrawal of USAID support, impact on yields, income, and scale of involvement for target populations (e.g. smallholders) maintained or increased.

  • This evidence bolsters the case for investing in MSD.
