Western and Central Africa: Regional Strategy for Rural Finance
Written/Published in 2004 by IFAD

Extract

The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) regional strategy for rural finance in Western and Central Africa builds on more than 25 years of experience of the Fund and its partners. It fits closely with IFAD’s strategic framework and overall regional strategy for Western and Central Africa, particularly the strategic objectives of increasing rural incomes through better access to capital and markets, and strengthening the capacities of the rural poor and their organizations. The strategy also recognizes that a focus on women, participation and local knowledge are pivotal to developing sustainable rural finance.
