Recommendations to National Governments and International Donors for the Design and Implementation of Animal Traction Programs

摘要

The paper highlights issues in the design and implementation of animal traction (ANTRAC) programs in francophone West Africa which are of primary concern to national governments and international donors. ANTRAC projects continue to benefit from funding priorities because of the recent Sahelian drought, the rise in petroleum product prices, and the fact that this agricultural technology is very appropriate in the context of developing country needs versus resources. The author recommends certain guidelines for levels of funding and for the organization of national institutions which contribute to the administration and implementation of ANTRAC projects.
