| Project Detail |
The vision for this first priority is as follows: in the Kindia and Mamou regions, agricultural stakeholders, particularly women and young professionals, contribute to a sustainable, resilient and inclusive food system that ensures food and nutritional security for populations.
The identified long-term changes that the Program aims to support are:
• behavioral changes among Guinean consumers, particularly urban ones, with greater attention to the health and nutritional quality of products, as well as their origin and mode of production ;
• changes in the organization of sectors and inclusive value chains and the actors involved, with a connection between producers engaged in agroecological transition processes and consumers demanding quality products. These value chains will be more competitive, more inclusive of family and womens farms and will ensure decent incomes for the actors involved;
• changes at the level of institutional actors at the decentralized level, with priority given to awareness of environmental problems and climate change and the need to develop adapted strategies;
• changes in production methods, with a desire to engage in agroecological transition approaches, with the adoption of more resilient production systems with less impact on natural resources, which contribute more to the food security of populations;
• changes at the level of rural and productive families, with an increase in income and a better distribution of this income (and decision-making powers) within households, inclusion within more sustainable value chains, linked to buoyant and profitable markets. Food and nutritional security will be improved through better integration of diversified crops and livestock coupled with training/awareness within groups.
• changes at the societal level, with the construction of more inclusive food systems for women and young people, offering opportunities in terms of decent work (issues of access to land and control over land and its products, the impact on resources), as well as a better redistribution of decision-making powers, among others in cooperatives and umbrella companies. The strategy is part of a perspective of promoting the assets of the portfolio for increased resilience of populations in the face of climate change and environmental degradation... |
