Book Chapter
Foreign Aid and Sustainable Agriculture in Africa

This chapter, by Siddig Umbadda and Ismail Elgizouli, directs the focus to agriculture in the African continent, which is undoubtedly highly aid dependent and where for the majority of the population small-scale farming is the anchoring livelihood.

They review the history of foreign aid directed to agriculture in Africa and discuss the areas which donors see as strategic for such aid to increase in the future in order to enhance food security and sustainable agricultural systems.

The foreign aid landscape for agriculture in Africa shows the long and windy road ahead for enhancing aid effectiveness and its scalability and transferability across the continent in a complex future, where food security under climate change will continue to be a crucial regional and global concern.
