The Activity is implemented by ACDI/VOCA, using a private sector-led approach to increase opportunities for individuals and communities affected by mining activities in the Siguiri prefecture. SADA will achieve this through investments, capacity building, and stakeholder coordination in the cashew value chain, including a medium-scale processing facility, cashew nurseries, as well as CASHEW PRODUCER HOLDING INFECTED FRUITS bundling of extension, inputs, and market access services for smallholder farmers. The Activity has two objectives: (1) improved rural commercial input and service supply system capacity for cashew farmers; and (2) increased cooperation and strengthened linkages between cashew market system actors. This reporting period built on the work completed under the beginning of ACDI/VOCA’s award with SAG from December 2019-April 2020, during which the team established its presence in Siguiri including establishing a project office, completing several key procurements, onboarding all eight staff members, and holding introductory meetings with community leaders, local government authorities, and SAG. In this same period, the SADA project team completed data collection for a rapid qualitative gender and youth analysis as a part of technical start-up and to inform the design and implementation of SADA activities and strategy. Additionally, the SADA team laid the groundwork for the baseline study including developing a data management manual, began drafting the AMELP, and established the Activity’s relational databases. On May 1, 2020, the award for the SADA activity was signed and in the following two months the team held an initial kick-off meeting with USAID, submitted the AMELP, FY2020 Workplan, and EMMP, and finalized the baseline questionnaire and data collection tools. In addition, during this quarter, SADA staff held meetings with representatives of several decentralized structures of the Government of Guinea technical services and with elected authorities at the prefecture level and the community leaders in Kintinian rural commune to brief them on the status of SADA activities. USAID/GUINEA/SIGUIRI AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY 1 Guinea Siguiri Agricultural Development Activity (SADA) Q3 FY2020 Report July 2020 To launch work with cashew producers, SADA was able to conduct a Producer Organization (PO) identification survey, as well as to develop a PO assessment questionnaire and collect initial data on the POs’ strengths and weaknesses. In collaboration with the technical services of Agriculture including ANPROCA, the administrative and municipal authorities of the Kintinian region and surrounding villages, SADA organized meetings to plan the PO identification and assessment process. The PO and cashew producer identification was completed in April and identified 21 POs with 529 members. Initial findings from the PO assessment show that POs generally have poor organizational structure and governance practices, lack of services for members and therefore weak resource mobilization, and few efforts to attract new members. To improve the supply of quality inputs to Siguiri’s cashew farmers, the Activity provided grants for the establishment of cashew nurseries to four local entrepreneurs. The Activity supported grantees with technical assistance for the preliminary selection of improved cashew varieties and seedling production by sharing information on improved planting practices and use of appropriate materials and equipment. The nurseries will provide improved varieties of cashew tree seedlings to cashew farmers on a commercially sustainable basis. In addition, the Activity held an initial meeting with the two operational agrodealers (CARs) in Siguiri. The purpose of the meeting was to make sure the CAR’s place of business is appropriate and that CAR operators are complying with safety measures prior to developing an MOU for SADA support in establishing a network of village agents (AAVs) that can help distribute inputs and provide extension information to producers. COVID-19 impact: The global COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on implementation of activities in Siguiri. The Government of Guinea has indefinitely imposed the following restrictions: avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, reduce travel to Conakry and the other highly-infected areas of the country, limit contact with other people, and regularly use sanitary kits and wash hands. In addition, to reduce any possible infection risk, SADA is following additional safety protocols, including limiting people visiting the office and limiting the number of people on each trip, respecting a distance of two meters between people during the meeting, distribution and use of protective masks for staff and visitors, and regularly take temperatures of staff and visitors at the office entrance. Activities to date, including the baseline and PO assessment, have been delayed and/or modified to accommodate these new procedures in an effort to conduct our activities safely. The activities planned for the remainder of 2020, especially where they involve group gatherings and field travel, have been modified and in some cases delayed in accordance with these restrictions, and will be subject to any further limitations that may be imposed by the government.

  • Community Development Funds and Agreements in Guinea Under the New Mining Code
    Community Development Funds and Agreements in Guinea Under the New Mining Code June 2013 With support from: 1 This report was prepared as part of a project, funded by AngloGold Ashanti (AGA), in which the Earth Institute at Columbia University, in partnership with Millennium Promise, worked with local governments and communities around the gold mines in Northern Guinea to formulate integrated MDG-based local development plans. In addition, the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), a joint Center of Columbia Law School and the Earth Institute, assessed the legal and fiscal framework for investments in gold in the region to better understand the total impact of and contribution to development of this sector. This report forms part of that analysis: specifically looking at how revenues from the mines could support local development plans. At the time of the drafting, in mid-2013, the Government of Guinea was formulating new regulations to govern how resource revenues would fund local development. The purpose of this report is to serve as the basis for discussion and consultation between the Government of Guinea and its development partners in the public and private sector as the regulations are being finalized; the report helps to shed light on relevant aspects of the legal framework to-date, including how they have operated in practice, and shares models and good practices of community development agreements and community development funds from elsewhere in the world. This is a work product of CCSI and does not necessarily reflect the views of any other organizations or partners in the Northern Guinea projects, including the Government of Guinea and Anglo Gold Ashanti.

  • 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) PROGRAM (FFP-A-00-00-00085-00) March 2005 External Consultants Dr Joseph F Dorsey, Jr (Agricultural Economist/Credit Expert) and Dr Joseph J Adu-Gyamfi (Agronomist//Natural Resources Management Expert) 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. Acknowledgements The External Consultants of the Final Evaluation Team for the PADRAS program wish to express their sincere appreciation to the management and staff of ADRA/Guinea for their full and cordial cooperation throughout the evaluation. The Evaluation Team (ET) is particularly thankful for their constructive and open attitude, and for their generous time and help given whenever requested.

  • Invest in Guinea Dear Readers, I Have the Great Honour of Presenting This Guide for International Investors
    Invest in Guinea Dear readers, I have the great honour of presenting this guide for international investors. I am convinced that good-quality investors, whether they come from the UK or elsewhere, can play a key role in the future development and prosperity of Guinea and its people. This guide is part of ongoing efforts made by the British Embassy in Guinea to support the Government of Guinea in its objective of attracting quality international investment into the country. Written in close collaboration with the Government of Guinea and stakeholders from the various sectors covered, this guide aims not only to demonstrate the incredible economic opportunities present in Guinea but also to share the country’s commitment to building a stable and prosperous future. While Guinea is considered one of the most important growth areas on the continent due to its geographical diversity and mineral endowment, improvements still need to be made to the investment climate. Several measures have been adopted by President Alpha Condé and his Government to create an attractive environment for investors looking to manage their businesses in a climate of trust and stability. The British Government is encouraging continued efforts in this vein in order to improve Guinea’s business environment. I would like to thank, in particular, all the members of the editorial committee for their valuable contributions and constant availability.
