African Agricultural Intensification (AFRINT)

Sample details

The AFRINT project, which has been running since 2002, is an interdisciplinary, comparative project looking initially at the possibilities for an Asian-style Green Revolution in nine countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Mozambique) on the basis of household level data for around 4,000 smallholder farms. The second phase, Afrint II, was launched in 2008 and aimed to trace patterns of change among these households given the growing policy interest in smallholder-based agrarian development. In 2010, a downsized Afrint III was launched, covering the original sample in six countries. Since 2016, a downsized phase of Afrint, Afrint IV/Papaya (Policy for Equity in African Agriculture), has been carried out in a subset of villages across Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia.
