The Project Task Force has elaborated Guidelines specifically oriented to the analysis and strengthening of producers’ organizations working in the UPA sector in ten developing country cities: Phnom Penh and Hyderabad (Asia); Accra, Antananarivo, Dakar, Nairobi, Kinshasa, Harare and Cairo (Africa); and Caracas (Latin America).
