Abstract: Since 1970, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has been assisting a West Africa Regional Poultry Project associated with the Organization pour la Mise en Valeur du Fleuve Senegal (OMVS). OMVS countries include Mali, Senegal, and Mauritania; Guinea was also a member, but withdrew from the project shortly after its inception. The regional project has been plagued with numerous problems, especially problems relating to management and a recurring feed grain supply crisis. Consequently, the USAID/U.S. Department of Agriculture team preparing this report, after evaluating these problems in an economic feasibility study of the project, concludes that USAID should terminate its involvement in this project soon, by December 31, 1973, if possible.
