| dc.description | The Framework for Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization in Africa (F-SAMA) was developed in 2018 through a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Department of Rural Development and Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment (DARBE) at the African Union Commission (AUC). The F-SAMA supports the creation of sustainable manufacture and distribution systems by using agricultural mechanization inputs along the whole production chain, from imports of raw material to other equipment that is suitable to the local conditions and requirements of the smallholder farmers. Several participating countries encountered institutional limitations to accommodate the interests of small-scale farmers (including women and youth) as well as small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) across different agrifood systems. There was also a need to strengthen mechanisms to facilitate a subregional exchange of information, technologies and networking, as well as subregional cooperation to design and implement collaborative subregional programmes, given that national markets of agricultural machinery and human capacities are too limited to achieve economies of scale, and to build sustainable institutions that will promote the sustainable agricultural mechanization for climate-smart agriculture (SAM4CSA). | |
