Exploring firm demand for digital matchmaking: A survey for platform design and implementation
Information asymmetries hinder trade between small suppliers and larger buyers in Rwanda. In collaboration with the Rwanda Development Board, this project surveys firms to inform the design of a digital matchmaking platform – modelled on ConnectAmericas – to build trust and strengthen value chain linkages. Findings will reduce information gaps and support trade and sustainable growth through better market access.
