Republic of Guinea Country Strategic Opportunities Programme 2020-2024

IFAD’s strategy for the period 2020-2024 aims at enabling IFAD’s target groups to engage in agricultural production activities that will allow them to achieve food security, obtain better nutritional outcomes and increase their monetary income so that they can exit poverty and build resilience.

There are three strategic objectives (SOs):

• SO1: Family farms run by members of IFAD target groups will be transformed and professionalized. They will become more productive, effective in terms of food security and nutrition, more sustainable and environmentally friendly and more resilient to shocks and climate change. They will generate increased income and will help to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment and to attract young people.
• SO2: Marketing infrastructure and networks will be built, upgraded and organized to enable IFAD target groups to increase the value added of their products for domestic, subregional and export markets and thereby generate greater wealth for family farmers.
• SO3: IFAD target groups’ organizations and their key private or public partners and interlocutors will be strengthened so that they can engage in professional and transformational activities and relations, including evidencebased policy dialogue at the national and local levels.
