Description

Explore the complex realities of agricultural development in West Africa with this academic study from Routledge. This book examines how governments in Mali and the Sahel region use parastatal organizations to address rural poverty and lagging food production. By focusing on Operation Riz-Segou, the text analyzes the political and economic outcomes of efforts to boost smallholder production of both food and cash crops. Based on extensive fieldwork in Mali, the research provides a detailed look at how foreign-aid financed investments in irrigation facilities impact local farmers. The author examines why these large-scale projects have not fully protected smallholders from the risks of unpredictable weather and changing flood levels of the Niger River. This work is an essential resource for those studying the effectiveness of development programs and the challenges of rural economic stability in the Sahel region.
