AUC-ECA launch programme on promotion and development of strategic agricultural value chains in ECOWAS
Recognizing the role that strategic agricultural commodities value chain can play in Africa agriculture transformation and subsequently enhancing food security and rural livelihoods, the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in collaboration with ECOWAS, the African Union Commission and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), within the CAADP framework launched a programme entitled “Promotion and Development of strategic agricultural value chains in ECOWAS region” last week in Cotonou, Benin. Under this programme, studies on value chain analysis will be carried out on rice, maize and livestock in Cote D’Ivoire this week and in Ghana next week. The overall goal is to enable effective Public-Private partnerships to play a significant role in the development of a vibrant agribusiness sector capable of capturing untapped opportunities such as economies of scale, intra-regional complementarities, trade and economies of transactions in cross-border investment with a view to foster agricultural development.
