PROJET D'APPUI AU DEVELOPPEMENT RURAL DE LA HAUTE GUINEE

The Upper Guinea Rural Development Support Project (PDAR-GHG) is designed because of the will of the Government and the African Development Bank to remove the major constraints that hinder the sustainable development of the agricultural sector in Upper Guinea. It aims to contribute to alleviating poverty, strengthening food security and reducing mass rural exodus. The project should primarily help to lay the foundations of sustainable development, based on the emergence, in the village community, of a process of economic and social self-reliance. It's in keeping with a new development approach which gradually makes the actors accountable for the activities supported by it. It contributes to the ongoing process of decentralization under the Government’s new policy and gradually focuses on the role of the “elected advisers of the CRDs” to improve the management of their communities and support the capacity of farmers to organize themselves into professional associations. The principal project components are: (A) enhanced production; (B) opening up of the region; (C) support to the organization of the rural community and (D) project management.
