| Youth and Agriculture in West Africa | Until 31 January 2014 | 
|
|
| | | | Dear Members, We reached almost 100 complete questionnaires on Youth and Agriculture! To give you a taste of what is coming out, as of today over 90% of respondents stated that agriculture offers opportunities for youth in West Africa. Over 85% specify that availability of loans, youth-tailored banking packages and microfinance are essential for attracting more youth, followed by capacity development and use of modern technologies. In the words of one participant "African youth needs to change paradigm regarding the attractiveness of agriculture and profit from the availability of arable land and the potential of agribusiness along with the challenge of feeding increasing population". Please help us complete the picture and enrich the dialogue by filling in the survey here. Additional comments are welcome via email to [log in to unmask] or online and don't forget that we also collect responses via SMS at 00233 268181812. We'll make the overview of results available as soon as the deadline closes. We are looking forward to receiving more inputs! The FSN Forum Team | |
