Private-Led SeedSAT Policy Reform Roadmap

To take the localized diagnostics from the SeedSAT assessment tool and translate them into binding national policies. This pipeline initiative focuses on transforming Burkina Faso’s historical seed framework into a 100% private-led system. It accelerates smallholder adoption of market-driven, climate-resilient seed varieties—specifically maize, rice, sorghum, cowpea, and soybean.
