“…The lack of simple, inexpensive and transparent instruments to support agricultural production compromises the achievement of food self-sufficiency/independence. Therefore, the level of protection induced by these policies is particularly low because their main tools in this object are basically all linked to international markets and liberalization: harmonization of norms and standards, lower tariffs between member countries and vis-à-vis the outside, adoption of standard external tariffs (CET) at levels lower than the average national tariffs previously applied (Balié and Fouilleux, 2008). These agricultural trade policies limit the protection of the domestic market and protect imported products in general and particularly European productions from possible competition from products from outside.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze agricultural policies and their changes through a multi-perspective approach and suggest the policy strategies for rethinking Sustainable Agricultural Development (SAD) in West Africa. To reach the study's goal, this paper investigates the structural changes and trends of agricultural policy, the key elements of current agricultural policy, the policy challenges, and instruments suitability. In the study, qualitative analysis was used as a primary research tool. Within this framework, a comprehensive approach enabling holistic assessment, including multi-perspective analysis and the acronym EFFECTIVE as assessment criteria for each policy tool, has been employed. The study results showed that there have been significant changes in West African agriculture over the years in production, modernization and mechanization, agro-food processing, marketing and trade, financing, and policies. Despite these changes, agricultural policies implemented so far could not solve food security, agricultural development, and rural development. Therefore, it is necessary to rethink SAD through a comprehensive agricultural policy approach that simultaneously considers elements, activities, and outcomes of any sub-sector of the agricultural system. The policy strategies should be oriented toward practical and clearly described sub-policies, including specific tools and instruments and strategies related to financing, productivity, cooperation system, and governance for any sub-division of agriculture. Keywords: Agricultural policies, multi-perspective analysis, policy strategies, sustainable, agricultural development, west Africa.

“…In the African context, some political scientists have studied policy transfers through the lens of ideas and discourses. They show that "mimetism" of external policy models are nevertheless always adapted, re-appropriated and reinterpreted: see for example the work of Darbon (2004) on African public policies embedded in complex dependency relations with Northern countries, Balié and Fouilleux (2008) on West African common agricultural policies inspired by the European one or Bergamashi (2001) who studied the trajectories of words and instruments related to the post-Washington consensus in Mali.…”

How to diagnose institutional conditions conducive to inter-sectoral food security policies? The example of Burkina Faso

The multidimensional nature of food security often leads experts to recommend mobilising all public intervention sectors to ensure that food security policies are inter-sectoral, and not the sole responsibility of a single sector. However, in African contexts such as in Burkina Faso, food security policies are in most cases far from being inter-sectoral. They are instead focused on agricultural production. It is therefore critical to understand why food security policies are what they are, to identify the underlying sectoral logics and to seek for signals of policy changes. This paper aims at contributing methodologically to the literature focusing on institutional diagnostic of food security policies. Drawing on a combination of new institutional approaches and cognitive public policy analysis we explain food security policies in Burkina Faso by three major factors. First, the persistence of agricultural production-oriented policies points to path dependency arising from the way food insecurity has historically been framed around cereal deficits. Second, the instruments used to measure and assess food security are not neutral: they directly shape both policy debates and decision-making. Third, the institutional configuration of the policy debate is characterised by a fragmentation that influences power games between actors supporting different visions of food security. Finally we argue that new concepts such as "nutritionsensitive agriculture" combined with more open forums may have the potential to lead to more inter-sectoral food security policies.

“…En effet, du point de vue du contenu, à l'image de ce qui se produit au niveau national, lesdites PACs se résument bien souvent à des déclarations d'intentions non mises en oeuvre (Balié, Fouilleux ;. Vis-à-vis des processus, le passage crucial de la phase d'élaboration des politiques à celle de leur mise en oeuvre est loin d'être systé-matique.…”

“…Or le mode de financement d'une politique fait intégralement partie de la politique. L'influence des partenaires extérieurs sur le contenu même des PACs résulte avant tout du fait que leur financement est très souvent lié aux contributions des bailleurs (Balié, Fouilleux ;. Une plus grande autonomie dans la définition des politiques passe donc néces-sairement par une augmentation de la part du budget consacré à l'agriculture.…”
