Resumen
Descripción
This brief aims to inform policy makers and other stakeholders about the experiences gained in five countries in West Africa: Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger and Senegal. The discussion focuses on short-term interventions that aimed at reducing food prices right away. In the analysis all prices are adjusted for inflation using the Consumer Price Index in each country and measured in 2005 constant CFA franc, which is a common currency.
