Markets with different types of management arrangement, including some services provided by private sector, can be considered, but the land must be public land and the infrastructure constructed by the project must be public property.

The Commodity Collection Points are to be built based on the real local need for collection, cleaning, packaging and/or temporary storage of commodities in the target value chains. All Commodity Collection Points are operated by a beneficiary organisation or cooperative. In some cases, it may be eligible to support a collection point that will be operated by a group of small and medium enterprise (SME) traders.

Ferry crossings may be financed where needed for transport of inputs and products. Normally the project will only finance construction of landings (places for people and vehicles to go on and off the ferry).

The conditions and criteria for their investment are clearly defined in the – Project Implementation Manual
