West Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world due to its climatic, demographic, institutional, economic, environmental and livelihood context. The region is home to over 360 million people, 55% of whom live in rural areas and depend on natural resources for their socio-economic development. Agriculture accounts for 29% of the region's gross domestic product (GDP) and is the main livelihood for more than 60% of West Africans.
Climatic, agricultural and market risks make agricultural performance highly volatile, triggering more frequent and severe food crises.
The Swiss Confederation signed a financing agreement with ECOWAS to provide "Support for capacity building of the ECOWAS Commission for the implementation of the Regional Component of the Regional Programme for Investment and Livestock in Coastal Countries (PRIDEC) within the framework of ECOWAP 2025" for the period 2017 to 2021. This agreement has been extended to June 30, 2023 due to Covid19, which caused a delay in the start of the pilot projects.
Adopted in January 2005, ECOWAP is the ECOWAS agricultural policy. This regional policy is a major reference in the implementation of the agricultural component of NEPAD in West Africa, ECOWAP/CAADP. It is the basis for the massive transformation of West African agriculture by 2025, in particular because of the predominant role of women in production and agroforestry and fisheries value chains, and the challenges related to youth employment in a context of unemployment and illegal emigration.
