The first report of the REGIONAL OBSERVATORY OF ROPPA (OFF/ROPPA) FAMILY FARMS deals with four questions that delivers successively (i) a farmer reading of the behavior of the West African family farms during the last two farming seasons; (ii) a status of the proximity support and extension from which these FOs benefitted; (iii) an analysis of the policies which these FOs and organizations that represent them coped with; and (iv) the OFF perspectives. In the same way, ROPPA put to profit the information production process that fed this first report to analyze its current follow-up and monitoring practices of family farms.
