Abstract
This article, published on April 26, 2024, examines the crucial need for financing and transformation in West African agriculture, a key economic driver. It advocates shifting from small-scale subsistence farming to sustainable agro-industry to unlock growth and create jobs for youth. This requires significant private sector investment, innovative financing, and leveraging approaches like the Mastercard Foundation’s "Fork to Farm" strategy.
