Know <strong>the</strong> exit strategy before intervening. When designing a market linkage<br />

intervention, <strong>the</strong> following three questions can ensure <strong>that</strong> <strong>the</strong> appropriate exit<br />

strategy is adopted:<br />

Does <strong>the</strong> market provide incentives for ei<strong>the</strong>r party (supplier or buyer) to<br />

take over <strong>the</strong> market linkage or facilitation activi<strong>ties</strong> over time?<br />

If nei<strong>the</strong>r party is likely to play <strong>the</strong> role of <strong>the</strong> facilitator, <strong>the</strong>n is <strong>the</strong>re a<br />

market for an independent third party to provide sustainable fee based<br />

services?<br />

If <strong>the</strong>re is no market for fee-based services, <strong>the</strong>n is <strong>the</strong>re a credible<br />

rationale for temporarily subsidizing <strong>the</strong> market (e.g., market failure)?<br />
