Call for projects "Promotion of family farming in West Africa (Pafao)" 2017
Given the rapid growth of cities and the increasing demand from urban consumers for changes in urban-rural relations, family farming is already strengthening the capacity of a country or region to feed Its urban populations through local production and the reinforcement of efficient short circuits. It is the question of its amplifying effect which is to be supported.
In order to support West African farmers, the other actors in the sectors and their organizations, the Fondation de France and the French Committee for International Solidarity (CFSI) joined forces in 2009 to launch a program to strengthen family agriculture in West Africa.

The overall objective is to promote local initiatives to strengthen access to food through viable and sustainable family farming in West Africa, to share knowledge acquired at broader scales and to contribute to the documentation of Sustainability of this agricultural model.
Specific objectives are: • to improve and secure the production, processing, conservation and marketing of agricultural products and to ensure their access to urban and rural consumers, in particular poor consumers, through concrete innovative actions; • to share the knowledge gained through the concrete actions supported by the program and to draw global lessons from local, national and international actors. This program benefits from a contribution from the JM.Bruneau Foundation (under the auspices of the Fondation de France) and the AFD. Seed Foundation participates in the funding component of the program. The Network of Farmers' and Producers Organizations in West Africa (Roppa) is a member of the Policy and Monitoring Committee.
