Abstract:
With a view to analyzing the socio-economic viability of the Federation of Payers of Fouta Djallon
“FPFD” in Guinea, a study was carried out between January and April 2023 at the FPFD/Middle
Guinea with producers, groups and Unions which make up the federation. The objective was to conduct
a participatory analysis of the socio-economic viability of the FPFD, and identify the issues for local
development. For this purpose, five types of questionnaires were developed and completed. After
investigation, we arrived at the following conclusions: On the economic level, the federation operates
on the basis of contributions, subsidies, the sale of agricultural products and provision of services.
Potato cultivation brought in the greatest profit (49,390,000 GNF/ha) and the operating costs were
borne by the federation, the State and the donors. This study allowed the FPFD to identify its
weaknesses and threats, its strengths and its opportunities. 45 parameters were evaluated, including 34
viable and 11 non-viable, with a viability rate of 75%, and solution approaches were proposed. Finally,
we recommend improving the management of accounting files, statistical data, social cohesion,
transformation, market study, for better sustainability of the achievements of the FPFD. |
