The purpose of this PPG was to prioritise SPS investments in export-oriented value chains applying the STDF P-IMA framework. The P-IMA approach provided evidence and analysis to inform SPS project development in key value chains; supported fund-raising efforts; facilitated public-private dialogue; increased awareness about the benefits of investing in SPS capacity building; contributed to the decision making process of National SPS Committee members; and supported the development of a National SPS Action Plan. 

The conclusions drawn from the use of P-IMA framework became a decision-making tool for members of the National SPS Committee, policy makers at national and regional level, as well as for development partners and donors.
