369. Dr. Abdou Tenkouano on Empowering Local Actors of Change for Locally Focused Solutions

On "Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg" Dani speaks with Dr. Abdou Tenkouano, Executive Director of CORAF (the West and Central Africa Council for Agricultural Research and Development). They discuss how CORAF is taking an integrated approach to tackle agricultural issues in 23 countries across the African continent, the benefits and limitations of international humanitarian aid, and moving away from buzzwords to respond to the expressed needs of communities.
