Sharing Our Progress in Agricultural Development

Our Agricultural Development initiative works to provide poor farming families in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia with opportunities to overcome hunger and poverty. We’re exploring new ways to share progress, setbacks and lessons with the public. To that end, we are following six grants—all announced in early 2008—that represent work across the initiative.

Find out what's working, what's not working, and what we've learned so far through the 2008 progress reports for these grants, available below.
