An Integrated Model to Tackle the Non-Appropriation of Agricultural Storage Facilities by Project Target Communities in Senegal
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 02
Abstract
The storage facilities of agricultural projects are not fully used by Senegalese producers. To appraise the non-appropriation, we used a mixed approach. First, we interviewed fifteen (15) officials and eight (08) farmers’ representatives. We identified five (05) clusters of factors: the low production, the project shortcomings, the unfavorable environment, the socio-cultural realities and the storage facility construction. Secondly, we surveyed a sample of seventy five (75) farmers. We found that stores are mainly used for inputs (48%) and cereals (22.7%). Low usage over time (below 6 months for 81.4% of farmers) and space (below 1/3 of the facility for 60% of farmers) derived from the low agricultural production (36%) and cultural habits (28%). We recommend an integrated PASTE solutions (Partnership, Administrative, Socio-cultural, Technical and Economic) model to overcome the non-appropriation of the storage facilities.
