The Africa Region
Africa’s main source of revenues and jobs is generated within agriculture systems - being in livestock, crops, dry or wetlands, rural or urban areas. These agriculture systems, however, need to thrive if we are to feed the growing populations, and help both producers and consumers meet their needs. Mercy Corps will build on its successes in East Africa to support the development of these agri-systems in West Africa, with a specific focus on the Sahel.
