The Global Value Chain Development Report 2021, the third in the series, draws on contributions from 25 background papers presented and discussed at the First Authors’ Workshop for the Global Value Chain Development Report 2021 during 8–9 October 2020. The drafts of the report’s six chapters were presented at the Chapter Authors’ Workshop for the Global Value Chain Development Report 2021 during 26–28 May 2021 (Appendix). The Asian Development Bank (ADB) organized both online workshops. The editors thank the authors of these papers and the chapters, and the discussants and participants at the two workshops, for their insightful comments and suggestions.
