IFPRI: Initiative to End Hunger in Africa (IEHA)

Building a Sub-regional Framework for Raising Agricultural Growth in Africa
July 18 2002
Hosted by USAID


ABSTRACT
A conceptual analytical framework to support the new Initiative's sub-regional approach helps to describe how country level development challenges and opportunities can be placed into a wider sub-regional context. The framework will act as a guide to the type of analysis that will need to take place in order to identify viable investments options, compare across options, and develop baseline information for future monitoring and evaluation of selected options. Future results from such analysis is expected to also inform a broader partnership on issues that will need to be addressed as part of a wider multi-donor effort, e.g. links to poverty reduction strategies, the challenges of globalization for the smallholder agricultural sector, the management of agriculture-environment linkages, institutional and governance issues, and rural infrastructure.
