Strategy for agricultural transformation in africa

 
Africa needs a multi-stakeholder, public sector-enabled, but private sector-led 
transformation that will allow it to realize the potential of agriculture as a business and 
create a foundation for prosperity, nutrition, and quality of life for all Africans.
6.4 
Senior management recommends the approval, by the Boards of Directors, of the 
Strategy for Agricultural Transformation in Africa 2016-2025.
Upon approval by the 
Board, this new strategy will supersede the Bank Group Agriculture Sector Strategy 2010–
2014 (ADB/BD/WP/2009/234/Rev.1 - ADF/BD/WP/2009/164/Rev.1).
