False Promises: The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA)
Documentation on AGRA’s policy initiatives is scant although it claims some credit for assisting in the passing of policy reforms and regulations that advance the Green Revolution agenda.
Advocacy report built on Wise's working paper. On p. 10 it says AGRA documents its seed policy work in a report with the stated goal of "seed policy and regulatory reforms that enable investment and growth of private sector seed businesses," that AGRA supported ARIPO-aligned seed policy reforms in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Nigeria and Tanzania, and that UPOV 1991-type rules limit farmers' rights to save, exchange and sell seed. It says documentation of AGRA's policy work is scant and that other initiatives pushed the same reforms.
