ActionAid recognizes the vital role of agricultural development, particularly in Africa where the
majority of livelihoods are derived from farming and related activities. Understanding the role of
governments, private and civil society actors acting in agricultural development is critical to the
advocacy work of ActionAid. The present assessment of Alliance for Green Revolution
(AGRA) is intended to enhance understanding in ActionAid networks, of the nature of AGRA’s
interventions and its impacts on small producers, and to inform ActionAid policies and
programmatic initiatives.
