Abstract
At the initiative of USAID, the ADB, MSU, and INSAH, 40 researchers, policy makers and
private-sector entrepreneurs from 19 countries, representing 20 African and international
organizations, met in Abidjan for a continent-wide workshop to debate issues related to
transformation of African agriculture. The Abidjan workshop built on previous discussions organized by Winrock International, the
World Bank, USAID (AFR/SD/PSGE/FSP) and IFPRI concerning the key challenges (food
insecurity, poverty, and environmental degradation) that need to be addressed while fostering a
structural transformation of African agriculture.
