How Do We Increase the Share of Aid to Agriculture in Africa?

Author

  • Peter Quartey

Abstract

Agriculture plays an important role in terms of employment and its contribution to gross domestic product in many African countries. Thus, any policy initiative targeted towards poverty reduction in Africa should consider the agricultural sector as the major priority area. Unfortunately, the sector faces a myriad of challenges and prominent among them is the issue of finance.
