ABSTRACT

In 2003, the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government adopted the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), an agriculture-led integrated development framework to boost African Agriculture with the aim to accelerate growth and eliminate poverty and hunger in African countries. CAADP was adopted in all ECOWAS Member Countries, that all developed and implemented a National Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plan (NAFSIP). Also, the ECOWAS Directorate of Agriculture and Rural Development elaborated a Regional Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plan (RAFSIP) to implement its regional Agricultural Policy named ECOWAS Agricultural Policy (ECOWAP).
