The Pafao program’s overarching goal is to:
- encourage regional efforts to increase access to nutritious food produced by thriving, sustainable family farms in West Africa and processed there or in the surrounding area, while guaranteeing a fair distribution of value added to value chains (this is the current request for projects);
- For organizations and advocates, capitalize (create knowledge) to take important lessons from projects that go beyond them. Contributing to the documenting of this agricultural and food model’s sustainability will be difficult since it will be difficult for policymakers to include these challenges in public policies;
- promote the development of scaling up plans so that successful initiatives don’t just fill a void in the economy but take up more real estate.

- non-profit legal persons registered for more than one year;
- farmers’ organizations (FOs) in West Africa;
- supporting NGOs active in a country in West Africa or the European Union;
