This COSOP supports the relevant government policies and is consistent with the IFAD strategic framework. It is based on an analysis of the current national context, and in particular of the challenges linked to: slow economic growth, climate change, low returns from agriculture, limited alternative employment opportunities in rural areas, demographic growth and migration, disparities in poverty alleviation and the fragility of the political environment. It builds on the achievements of and lessons learned from IFAD investment, as well as the recommendations of the country programme evaluation (CPE) carried out in 2012, and is the result of a participatory design process that gave particular prominence to small producers. IFAD's comparative advantages stems from its long-term involvement in rural areas experiencing the highest poverty incidence, where it has combined support to developing economic opportunities with community-based mechanisms aimed at ensuring that disadvantaged groups are included in development effort and have equitable access to services and investments. The overall goal of IFAD'S country programme is to promote inclusive and resilient growth in rural areas and contribute to peace consolidation by pursuing three strategic objectives (SOs).
