he editors of this monograph and the authors of the individual chapters thank the following organizations for their financial support: the EU through its support for CCAFS (Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food
Security) of the CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research), the GIZ (Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit), and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and their respective home institu- tions—CORAF (Conseil Ouest et Centre Africain pour la Recherche et le Developpement Agricoles), IFPRI, and CCAFS—for encouraging them to undertake this work. We also give special recognition to Abdulai Jalloh of WECARD (the West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development). He identified counterpart national scientists to undertake the national reports and provided invaluable intellectual leadership in man- aging the challenging process of coordinating and supporting many different authors while leading the development of the regional overview chapter. Any errors or omissions remain the responsibility of the authors. As this mono- graph was being finalized we learned of the passing of Dr. Mamadou Khouma, who led the study and writing of the Senegal chapter but unfortunately could not see its final publication. We wish him God’s grace.
