Agricultural technology in Sub-Saharan Africa
1991
Gnaegy, Suzanne | Anderson, Jock R. | Brossier, Jacques
The design and content of agricultural projects and programs financed by the Bank are, to a large extent, determined by national macroeconomic and agricultural policies prevailing at the time the lending is approved and by the institutional development needs of the particular country. This paper focuses on the probems faced in identifying, analyzing and articulating technological issues at each stage in project processing through to loan approval and subsequently during implementation. It makes recommendations to enable future projects to place a proper emphasis on the technological issues and apply appropriate technical solutions in project design and implementation. The objectives are to improve the performance of Bank agricultural lending operations over both short- and long-term horizons and to increase the efficiency of the Bank's use of its staff resources in agricultural technology. This report is based on interviews with staff of the agricultural operations divisions engaged in identification, preparation, appraisal and supervision activities, and on a desk study of a sample of project documents and reports, as well as the author's own experience.
