World Bank Assistance to Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa

An IEG Review

About this book

A critical analysis of World Bank's agricultural assistance in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study assesses the development effectiveness of World Bank assistance in addressing constraints to agricultural development in Africa over the period of fiscal 1991-2006.

This region faces a variety of constraints that make its development a complex challenge. This volume offers insights into:

  • The underperformance of the agriculture sector.
  • The neglect by donors and governments over the past two decades.
  • The limited and declining support to agriculture.
  • The need for coordinated interventions.

This book is for policymakers, development practitioners, researchers, and academics interested in African agriculture and international development.
