Financing the agroecological transition in the ECOWAS region

Financing remains a crucial lever for transforming agricultural systems and structuring agri-food value chains. Member States and ECOWAS can encourage sustainable agricultural policies and food systems by turning financing and tax instruments into incentives to facilitate the agroecological transition. From budget reform to producer support and bank engagement — this policy brief offers an overview on ECOWAS’ concrete solutions.
