About 300 delegates comprising
representatives from IFAD-funded projects in West and Central Africa,
governments’ representatives and NGOs are recently completed a meeting in The
Gambia to discuss how to continuously improve the performance of IFAD-funded
projects and grants in terms of relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency; among
other things.
It was the 7th Regional Forum
for IFAD-funded Projects held at the Kairaba Beach Hotel in Kololi from 12th
to 15th November 2012 on the theme, ‘Result-based management for sustaining rural poverty reduction: lessons
learned and challenges’.
Speaking at the
opening of the forum on Monday, The Gambia’s Minister of Agriculture, Mr
Solomon Owens, said the forum will lead to concrete conclusions and actions for
enhancing the pro-poor impact of development interventions not only in The
Gambia but in all the countries within our two sub-regions – West and Central
Africa.
According to
him, the four-day event will provide opportunities to share and learn
experiences, best practices and innovations from all the projects from
different countries as well as the other non-governmental participants.
The IFAD (International
Fund for Agricultural Development) Director for West and Central Africa, Mr
Ides de Willebois, said as the theme suggested, IFAD is now focusing on
management of projects, based on experience. He noted some best designed
projects have failed because of poor management.
Weaknesses in
project management can be attributed to weak overall results base management
culture and competencies in many countries of the region.
Mr Willebois said in West and Central Africa, agriculture is the main activity and contributes to 30 percent of the countries’ economy and employs 60 percent of the population.
“Although its contribution to countries in the region is generally less than its share of the gross domestic product, the sector scores better than Sub-Saharan Africa countries as a whole,” he said.
He observed that many of the governments in West and Central Africa recognize the importance of investment in agriculture to stimulate growth for poverty reduction.
During the four-day forum, participants
reviewed the performance and impact of IFAD operations on the livelihoods of
the rural poor, in particular smallholder farmers in West and Central Africa;
they also examined results-based planning, financial and budget management,
effective partnerships, monitoring and evaluation, and performance and scaling
up or replicating successes.
The objectives of the annual forum include
highlighting and sharing the knowledge, experience and lessons that have
evolved during the project implementation period, including areas of strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and the threats to further and sustained progress.

their experiences shamelessly: they exploit them.
It’s great to see regional delegates coming together to discuss IFAD-funded projects in Gambia. These initiatives are crucial for fostering development and improving livelihoods. For those involved in similar projects or studies, balancing multiple tasks can be challenging. If you find yourself needing academic assistance, online class help assistance can provide valuable support, ensuring you stay on top of your commitments and contribute effectively. Keep up the fantastic work!
