The online home of the West African Market Information Systems Network (WAMIS-NET), the web site aims to provide timely and accurate data on 400 commodity markets in nine participating member states. The website, www.resimao.net, will put strategic information at the fingertips of producers and other stakeholders. By allowing producers to capitalise on opportunities in regional markets, the web site will support food security, poverty reduction and job creation for young people across the region. food_security_agriculture development_policy policy_news dpir Fri, 26 Jul 2013 15:06:54 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/82a1616f5654ccd4c89eaef0e2c3da31#cotonou_online http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3098f0aa17cc73cc4c42bc9b&id=1d396ccbf9&e=ecc89e25c3 http://del.icio.us/url/82a1616f5654ccd4c89eaef0e2c3da31 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/82a1616f5654ccd4c89eaef0e2c3da31 cotonou_online's links Editor’s Pick: Is there a future for Political Economy Analysis in the European Commission?

She notes that with only one-third of West African countries delivering on the commitment made by African Heads of State in Maputo 10 years ago to allocate 10% of their national budget to agriculture, West Africa can hardly be lauded, although it does score well compared to other regions. She emphasises that not only volumes but also the quality of expenditures count, which often gets downplayed. Ongoing studies initiated by the regional farmers’ organisation ROPPA, ECDPM and other partners are examining progress in West Africa in delivering on broader Maputo and West African/Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Programme commitments. new_dpir_team food_security_agriculture development_policy policy_news new_at_ECDPM dpir Fri, 26 Jul 2013 04:27:36 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/336feadd53533cda898082734c8e5b78#cotonou_online http://www.donorplatform.org/aid-effectiveness/latest/1059-food-security-learning-frameworkharmonising-mae-activities.html http://del.icio.us/url/336feadd53533cda898082734c8e5b78 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/336feadd53533cda898082734c8e5b78 cotonou_online's links The Food Security Learning Framework outlines key questions related to the effectiveness of different approaches in promoting food security and critical knowledge gaps for which evidence and answers are lacking. The Framework prioritises questions that, when answered, could contribute the most to efforts to improve food security programming around the world. Building on the framework, partners are going to develop practical steps to align their own M&E systems and explore options for joint M&E activities between partners, especially impact evaluation. Through the framework, partners will build on and contribute to the body of knowledge on food security to improve the design and management of interventions in the agriculture, economic growth and nutrition sectors. food_security_agriculture development_policy policy_news dpir Thu, 25 Jul 2013 08:24:58 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/8470b06bacb1a0c29aab5c7e45141e76#cotonou_online http://www.worldbank.org/en/region/afr/publication/securing-africas-land-for-shared-prosperity http://del.icio.us/url/8470b06bacb1a0c29aab5c7e45141e76 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/8470b06bacb1a0c29aab5c7e45141e76 cotonou_online's links The report offers a series of 10 steps for improving land governance – the manner in which land rights are defined and administered – that can help to revolutionize agricultural production and end poverty in Africa. With political will from African Governments and support from development partners, the plan to improve land governance in Africa in a decade could cost as little as US$4.5 billion.The report lays out land reform pilots in Malawi, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and other countries and shows how many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have recognized customary land rights and gender equality, the two key issues that provide a basis for sound land administration. food_security_agriculture development_policy policy_news dpir Wed, 24 Jul 2013 03:38:38 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/e847e289183dc2b5d6e923b0e9ebed7d#cotonou_online http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/01/17782306/securing-africas-land-shared-prosperity-program-scale-up-reforms-investments http://del.icio.us/url/e847e289183dc2b5d6e923b0e9ebed7d http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/e847e289183dc2b5d6e923b0e9ebed7d cotonou_online's links This book covers land administration and reform in Sub-Saharan Africa, and is highly relevant to all developing countries around the world. It provides simple, practical steps to turn the hugely controversial subject of "land grabs" into a development opportunity by improving land governance to reduce the risks of dispossessing poor landholders while ensuring mutually beneficial investors' deals. This book shows how Sub-Saharan Africa can leverage its abundant and highly valuable natural resources to eradicate poverty by improving land governance through a ten point program to scale up policy reforms and investments at a cost of USD 4.5 billion. Formidable challenges to implementation are discussed. These include high vulnerability to land grabbing and expropriation with poor compensation, as about 90 percent of rural lands in Sub-Saharan Africa are undocumented, as well as timely opportunities since high commodity prices and investor interest in large scale agriculture have increas... food_security_agriculture development_policy dpir Mon, 22 Jul 2013 08:23:04 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/c84c3ce69d7e0c50aa373f6c7ad0af61#cotonou_online http://www.donorplatform.org/private-sector-cooperation/latest/1055-contract-farming-handbook-practical-and-process-oriented-approach.html http://del.icio.us/url/c84c3ce69d7e0c50aa373f6c7ad0af61 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/c84c3ce69d7e0c50aa373f6c7ad0af61 cotonou_online's links German Development Agency (GIZ) on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) issued a contract farming handbook, which provides a practical and process-oriented approach guiding practitioners through sound planning, starting up, consolidation and up-scaling of contract farming (CF) schemes. It gives insights in the selection of an appropriate business model for the farm supply-firm procurement interface based on principles of fairness and transparency. It furthermore provides guiding principles, questions and answers for the development of viable CF business and practicable management plans, mutually beneficial farming contracts and mutually agreed dispute settlement systems. food_security_agriculture development_policy policy_news dpir Fri, 19 Jul 2013 14:25:52 +0000 http://del.icio.us/url/c83716db5b42a575550ea821e3f21f56#cotonou_online http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f3098f0aa17cc73cc4c42bc9b&id=a480ecaaf0&e=61daaeec75 http://del.icio.us/url/c83716db5b42a575550ea821e3f21f56 http://feeds.del.icio.us/v2/rss/url/c83716db5b42a575550ea821e3f21f56 cotonou_online's links Editor’s Pick: What and who drives regional integration in Southern Africa?
