These projects cover 7 countries, 15 pilot sites and more than 70 villages in West Africa. The overall objective is to increase the productivity, profitability, and sustainability of agricultural production for small farmers. Emphasis is placed on training in participatory technology development, strengthening farmers’ organizations, and improving access to credit and input-output markets. Hands-on training programs have expanded to improve the capacity of partner institutions in applying the ISFM approach.
