Policy implications for small-scale farmers.
UK Food Group
The research upon which this report is based was limited to a focused and selective review of policy documents of some of the major donors providing aid for agricultural development as well as United Nations, international finance, agricultural research and African institutions. Drawing on UK Food Group (UKFG) members’ policy intelligence, rural development and agricultural policy literature and websites, a grid was drawn up of some of the main actors shaping the rural development and agricultural agenda, especially in Africa.
The research tried to determine what underlies the expressed policy of each actor and how they influence each other’s agendas. Official policy documents were screened through a set of questions:
The research focused on expressed policy priorities not on their impacts. The report provides an account of recent development themes concerning aid to African agricultural development. This is followed by a table of the main actors, with a brief description of their activities and their policies. The report then analyzes the key findings derived from the evidence. In particular, it covers policies and reports published between 2004 and 2008. A comprehensive list of references and bibliography is provided.
