Abstract
Due to the nature of the mandate of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), which is to combat hunger and rural poverty in low income, food-deficit regions and to improve livelihoods of the rural poor, the need to build strong partnerships with grassroots movements throughout its intervention zones was quickly realized. Both the mandate of IFAD and the need to build partnerships to attain it are immediate concerns today for the villages of West and Central Africa because of the desperate situations in which they find themselves.
