Context
The Feed the Future Enhancing Growth through Regional Agricultural Inputs Systems (EnGRAIS) Project for West Africa is a five-year activity that supports African-led regional institutions to address critical issues that constrain the effective supply and use of agricultural inputs in West Africa. The program is expected to result in strong, positive, and lasting change toward improving the availability of farmers and access to appropriate, affordable, and quality agricultural inputs. EnGRAIS is applying a multi-faceted approach, working throughout the fertilizer supply chain as a facilitator, enhancing strategic actors’ ability to improve the business environment and transition to a private sector-led fertilizer market that responds to effective demand for productivity-enhancing inputs in West Africa. The goal of EnGRAIS is to contribute to improved sustainable agricultural productivity and inclusive growth for West Africans through its strategic objective of sustainably increasing regional availability and use of appropriate and affordable fertilizers. This objective will be achieved through the following intermediate results:
IR 1: Competitive, inclusive, private sector-led, regional fertilizer market strengthened;
IR 2: Comprehensive input packages developed and disseminated in cooperation with CORAF;
IR 3: Fertilizer policy and regulatory systems across West Africa improved and harmonized in accordance with ECOWAS guidelines; and
IR 4: Mobilizing commitment and harmonizing engagement from key stakeholders across West Africa supported by mission buy-ins.
To ensure maximum impact, this program is being implemented in close consultation and partnership with West African regional institutions/organizations, including ECOWAS, the West African Economic Monetary Union (UEMOA), Comité Inter-Etats de Lutte contre la Sécheresse au Sahel (CILSS), the Conseil Ouest et Centre Africain pour la Recherche et le Développement Agricoles (CORAF), and the West Africa Fertilizer Association (WAFA). Under its IR1, EnGRAIS has provided extensive technical and financial support to WAFA over the last 1.5 years.
