The Guinea National Agricultural
Services Project's overall development objective is to
improve nationwide agricultural productivity and production,
incomes of farmers and food security. Initiated in 1996, the
food security component of this project was undertaken in
conjunction with the Food and Agriculture
Organization's Special Program for Food Security
(SPFS). SPFS, approved by the FAO Board in June 1994, had
the objective of helping countries with low revenues and a
food deficit to rapidly increase their food production in
order to contribute to food security. The SPFS strategy is
based on pilot projects to identify existing technical
assistance packages and the intensification of their
application while eliminating the institutional obstacles to
their adoption. The pilot phase will be followed by an
extension of five years during which technical solutions,
policies and investment programs will be implemented to
strengthen the national capacity necessary for increased
food security. |
