SYNTHESIS

COMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT/LOCAL DEVELOPMENT

• Engage in a policy dialogue and reform on decentralization as the real entry
• Based on WB’s evaluation and other assessments and existing efforts (decision tools) work together to develop an improved M&E System, CB analysis, benchmarking.
• Increase our credibility by showing impact of CDD and improving impact of M&E vis-à-vis the tax payer and the various partners
• Need for a better costs & benefits analysis to contribute really to poverty reduction and economic growth;
• Increase collaboration between donors in order to have a higher impact on the ground;
• Platform, websites, common events…
• Land tenure is a key entry point (resource base, fiscal decentralization, cultural values…)

HIV/AIDS

• HIV is a social interactive issue.
• RD/Agriculture programmes can exacerbate the spread of HIV
• Agricultural & Rural Development can also make a substantial contribution to the Response to HIV/AIDS
• Better integrate HIV/AIDS issues in the projects.
• Need for a cross-sectoral mobilisation and collaboration against the pandemic.
• Mainstreaming at all levels (communities, national, regional, etc).

CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE

• Concrete achievements since 2005,
• Soils are one of the most important assets of developing countries’ capital.
• Already existing demand from private partners.
• Collective decisions processes in some case might slowdown the diffusion of CA.
• Dynamic at global and regional level
• Need for concrete application to build the momentum Africa should be part of
• Integrate WCA in this dynamic, create a network and find new partners: Could the decentralization of local communities foster the diffusion of CA?
• Economics: need to convince farmers of the economic comparative advantage.
