If inclusive business is to realise wide and sustained development impacts, it is likely to depend on crowding in of other public and private actors. Assessing the contribution of inclusive business to crowding in is difficult because the phenomenon usually only manifests after project completion, and the complex operating environment complicates the process of evidencing a link between intervention and outcome. With donors placing increasing emphasis on demonstrating impact, innovative approaches to assess crowding in are needed. This article presents an adapted form of process tracing to assess the contribution of inclusive business to crowding in. It reports on the contribution of CREATE, an inclusive agribusiness project, to the crowding in of malting companies in Ethiopia’s barley value chain. Though predominantly focusing on demonstrating a programme’s contributions to crowding in, the article offers suggestions for how this process tracing-based exercise may support the fostering of inclusive agribusiness practices more broadly.

协作评估贡献：使用流程跟踪来捕获拥挤情况

如果包容性企业要实现广泛而持续的发展影响，它很可能依赖于其他公共和私人参与者的挤入。评估包容性业务对挤入的贡献是困难的，因为这种现象通常仅在项目完成后才会出现，而复杂的运营环境使证明干预与结果之间联系的过程变得复杂。随着捐助者越来越重视展示影响，需要创新的方法来评估挤入。本文介绍了一种经过调整的流程跟踪形式，以评估包容性企业对挤入的贡献。它报告了包容性农业综合企业项目 CREATE 对埃塞俄比亚大麦价值链中麦芽公司挤入的贡献。
