National Programme to Support Agricultural Value Chain Actors - Lower Guinea and Faranah Expansion

The National Programme to Support Agricultural Value Chain Actors (PNAAFA) area will be expanded to include the eight prefectures in Lower Guinea and three prefectures in the administrative region of Faranah (Faranah, Dabola and Dinguiraye).

This overall objective of this six-year programme (running from 2014 through 2019) is to improve food security for rural people living in the administrative regions of Boké, Kindia and Faranah.

In line with the Republic of Guinea's Country Strategic Opportunities Programme for 2009-2014, the programme seeks to improve production and productivity by smallholders and other actors – such as women and artisans belonging to professional agricultural organizations – in key agricultural value chains.

A total of 55,000 households will benefit from this initiative.

This programme is an expansion of the National Programme to Support Agricultural Value Chain Actors (PNAAFA).
