Just released 🎬 Relive the highlights of our regional workshop with @ecowas_cedeao in #Lomé 🇹🇬! As members states and voices from across West Africa came together to co-create solutions for de-risking agricultural investments in the region, a major milestone was marked: the co-formulation of a concept note for the Regional Integrated Agricultural Risk Management Programme in West Africa, #PRIGRAO. This 10-year ambitious programme designed to strengthen the resilience of agricultural systems and rural communities in the face of climate, economic, and health risks in West Africa. PRIGRAO is built around four strategic components: 📝 Integrating agri-risk management into policy and investment frameworks 📚 Capacity development and institutionalization of agri-risk management ☔ Agri and climate risk insurance for resilient agriculture 👩🏽‍🌾 Agriculture for job creation and women/youth empowerment through agri-preneurship and innovation This achievement was made possible thanks to the active engagement of government representatives, technical experts, development partners, and regional and continental stakeholders. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to @ecowas_cedeao Commissioner for Economic Affairs and Agriculture, @Massandje_TL , @AFD_France, the European Union, @ItalyMFA , Consulate of Italy in Togo, @IFAD , @NEPAD_Agency, @ARAA_CEDEAO, @BIDC_EBID, @ARCapacity, @AdvisorsPula , @Proparco , @PAFO, @roppainfo , AGHRYMET, @CORAFNews , Pordu Care Enterprise, Ideal Providence Farm, The Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar (UCAD), Tin Buaba, Lorica Assurances, @CtopTogo , and all members states.
