Guinea’s Prime Minister met a delegation from the UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) on 4 November to review the projects the fund supports in the country.
According to IFAD regional director Bernard Hien, investments have helped raise production, train farmers and connect isolated rural areas, with 250 kilometres of rural roads and markets built in 15 prefectures.
A second phase of agricultural financing of about US$70 million is being prepared, with approval by IFAD’s board expected in December.
