CORAF/WECARD 2007-2016 STRATEGIC PLAN

Context: The review of the 1999-2014 Strategic Plan, and the Consultative Stakeholder Meeting in 2006, highlighted the need for a new look at CORAF/WECARD’s strategy and approach to agricultural research and development. Key to this was the AU-NEPAD initiative of CAADP. CORAF/WECARD had been involved with its development, and with the development of FAAP which provides the guidelines for implementation. This coupled with new initiatives for West and Central Africa agricultural productivity
programmes and a new level of interest from development partners, prompted CORAF/WECARD to take action.
The documents proposed below summarize all the process of revision of the strategic and operational plans, which was centered on seven international workshops.
