As African governments and their partners begin identifying areas for agricultural and rural investment and policy intervention, it is crucial that the links between investments, agricultural growth, and poverty reduction are clearly understood. To this end, the Development Strategy and Governance (DSG) Division at IFPRI has taken the lead in launching a Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (SAKSS) that compiles, analyzes, and disseminates data, information, and tools in order to help inform the design, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of rural development strategies in order to make them more effective. Envisioned as an international public good, the intended users of SAKSS include not only African governments and donors but also local and international research institutes and universities, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations. As such, SAKSS is being established as a network among these key partners.
