COUNTRY STRATEGIC PLAN Usald ASSISTANCE to GUINEA COUNTRY STRATEGIC PLAN USAlD ASSISTANCE TO GUINEA FYs 1998 - 2005 MAY 12, We7 11 DE : USR I D Embassy of the United Stales of A~nerica Ms. Carol Peaslcy Assistant Administrator (Acting) Bureau for Africa United Stater Agency for Inmatioaal Dcvclopmcnt Washington. DC Dear Ms. Pe&!ey, It is with a great sense of satisfaction and pleasure that I fonvard to you USAlDIGuinea's Country Strategic Plan, 1998-2005. 1 can assurc you that this document has benefitted from a gear ddof consultarion and collaboration wilh &c CV'JLLT)Team and a wide range of devclopmrnr partners on the ground in Guinea. h IS, 1 klieve. a plan deeply roored in Guinea's irnmensc development potential and U.S. interens. Thc USAlD program is highly valucd by Guineans and for good reason. 1 can honestly say that it is the most efktive use of taxpayers resourccs I have seen in any of my sevea African lours. Rcsulrs are visible in small towns and villages across his beautiful but impoverished land. 1 ani pmicii~:~pleased thar the CSP ~acklcs hcad on svir~rof Guinca's tiiCllcult democracy and governlincc issues. Dernocratiza~ionis a high priority for this mission, and USAID plays an imporrant role in funhering these objectives. I believe tbu Ihe CSP has justified rhe resources anU the approach to really make a difference, not ody in the important DG field, but in primary education, family health and natural resources management. An ongoing issue in our bilateral relarions is political and economic rcform. Halting progress is evident on both fronts. A strons and vibranr USAlD program structund to deliver assistance directly to tbe grassroots while poised to targct aisrinct and potentially high payoff acrivitics such as the recent US study tour by National Assembly deputies, tke bland Initiative. and perhaps ~e I998 presidential electiom is an imponant tool to support and encourage the reform process. 1 underrrmd completely the need ro auuragc €or results and flexibility in [he ficid is an essential iogreditn~to respond to rapidly unfoIdkip opportlmjries. If the USAlD program is ro retain a leading rolc, resources should be increased. The USAID budget and staff have laken a scrious beating in the current climate of resourcc scarciry. I strongly recommend that dcspitc the pressures to do Icss, rhat USAlD do all ir can to assurc a reasonable level of resources for rhc Guinea program. Thc CSP proposcs several resourcc scenarios. From my perspective, he "breakthrough' sccnario is bc mosr sensible given he program's higb performance and potential, our excellent US PVO pmers and che efficicnr management structure established rhrough reenginering. In closing, Itc me say whhl a pleasure it is to work with USAID. We have excqrionally collrgid relations which have crcatcd a srroq and unified ream approach. This CSP crnbodies that teamwork and I trust rhar you will find it mecu all your oxpecrations. Sincerely, P* + *Tibor P.

Benjamin The Texture of Change: Cloth Commerce and History in West Africa, 1700-1850 Abstract This study re-examines historical change in western Africa during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries through the lens of cotton textiles; that is by focusing on the production, exchange and consumption of cotton cloth, including the evolution of clothing practices, through which the region interacted with other parts of the world. It advances a recent scholarly emphasis to re-assert the centrality of African societies to the history of the early modern trade diasporas that shaped developments around the Atlantic Ocean.

  • PRSP II) for Guinea and the Public Disclosure Authorized Joint IDA-IMF Staff Advisory Note (JSAN) on the PRSP II
    OFFICIAL USE ONLY IDA/SecM2007-0684 December 12, 2007 Public Disclosure Authorized For meeting of Board: Tuesday, January 8, 2008 FROM: Vice President and Corporate Secretary Guinea: Second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper and Joint IDA-IMF Staff Advisory Note 1. Attached is the Second Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP II) for Guinea and the Public Disclosure Authorized Joint IDA-IMF Staff Advisory Note (JSAN) on the PRSP II. The IMF is currently scheduled to discuss this document on December 21, 2007. 2. The PRSP II was prepared by the Government of Guinea. The paper acknowledges the disappointing outcome of the first PRSP, which covered the period 2002-2006. The political, social and economic environment in which the implementation of PRSP I took place was characterized by poor governance, political instability, and low growth which led to an increase in poverty from 49 percent in 2002 to an estimated 54 percent in 2005. Overall, public service delivery deteriorated in terms of both quality and access and the living conditions for most Guineans worsened. Public Disclosure Authorized 3. PRSP II aims at recapturing lost ground over the past five years. The overall strategy is based on three pillars: (i) improving governance; (ii) accelerating growth and increasing employment opportunities; and (iii) improving access to basic services. It focuses on restoring macroeconomic stability, institutional and structural reforms, and mechanisms to strengthen the democratic process implementation capacity. 4. As approved by the Board on August 6, 2007, the pilot Board Technical Questions and Answer Database (http://boardqa.worldbank.org or from the EDs' portal) is now open for questions.

Cross-cutting technical areas include water, sanitation, hygiene, urban health and health systems strengthening. MCHIP brings together a partnership of organizations with demonstrated success in reducing maternal, newborn and child mortality rates and malnutrition. Each partner will take the lead in developing programs around specific technical areas: Jhpiego, as the Prime, will lead maternal health, family planning/reproductive health, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT); JSI—child health, immunization, and pediatric AIDS; Save the Children—newborn health, community interventions for MNCH, and community mobilization; PATH—nutrition and health technology; JHU/IIP—research and evaluation; Broad Branch—health financing; PSI—social marketing; and ICF International—continues support for the Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP) and the Malaria Communities Program (MCP).

  • Guinea: Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper
    REPUBLIC OF GUINEA Work – Justice – Solidarity Ministry of the Economy, Finances and Planning Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper PRSP–2 (2007–2010) Conakry, August 2007 Permanent Secretariat for the Poverty Reduction Strategy (SP-SRP) Website: www.srp-guinee.org.Telephone: (00224) 30 43 10 80. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This document is the fruit of a collective effort that has involved many development stakeholders: executives of regionalized and decentralized structures, civil society organizations, development partners, etc. Warm thanks to all of them. The government would particularly like to acknowledge the grassroots organizations and civil society actors who, despite the difficulties that affected the implementation of the PRSP-I, have renewed their confidence in its action. The lessons learned from the implementation of the PRSP-I have helped in the design and preparation of the document. For this, the government again thanks the development partners who have accompanied it in this exercise and provided technical and financial contributions (EU, GTZ, SCAC, Canadian Cooperation), as well as the team of national experts who carried out field work with dedication and professionalism. Furthermore, without the painstaking work carried out in 2005 and 2006 as part of the process of refining the regional PRSPs, it certainly would not have been possible to prepare this document. The same is true of the work done, mainly in 2006, to evaluate needs aimed at reaching the MDGs. In this regard, we thank the United Nations System, and in particular the UNDP, for its exceptional contribution. Finally, the government extends its most sincere thanks to all those, both named and unnamed, who participated in this collective work.

  • Report on the Final Evaluation for Adra's
    REPORT ON THE FINAL EVALUATION FOR ADRA’S PROJET D’AUGMENTATION DES RESSOURCE ALIMENTAIRES DE SIGUIRI (PADRAS) March 2005 External Consultants Dr Joseph F Dorsey, Jr. (Agricultural Economist/Credit Expert) and Dr Joseph J Adu-Gyamfi (Agronomist//Natural Resources Management Expert) Transfer Authorization Award No. FFP-A-00-00-00085-00 SO2: Increased effectiveness of FFP’s PVO and Mission partners in carrying out Title II development activities with measurable results related to food security, with a primary focus on household nutrition and agricultural productivity. Foreword The purpose of the final evaluation is to assess ADRA’s achievements toward the goal of improving food security in the Siguiri prefecture of northeastern Guinea. ADRA has approached food security with a two-pronged strategy of increasing food availability through a set of agricultural technologies appropriate to the region and of increasing food access through increased incomes of participants in project activities. It also incorporated concerns which it shares with the funding agency, USAID, for improved and sustainable natural resource management. It should be noted that the use of agro-chemicals was not part of PADRAS’ strategy because of USAID/Guinea policy until early 2004. The conclusions and findings of the final evaluation report focus mainly on the projects impacts as input delivery and process concerns were well addressed in the mid-term evaluation. The Evaluation Team hopes that the conclusions and recommendations of this report will be useful to ADRA in the final months of the PADRAS project and in any future ADRA project in Guinea and indeed elsewhere in the region.
