Abstract: Abstract The food crisis has been particularly severe in the semi-arid Sahelian countries of West Africa, a region encompassing nine countries and some 38 million people.2 To combat the crisis, as de Lattre (1988) observed, donors poured an unprecedented US $15 billion of aid over the past 13 years from 1975 to 1988.
