Abstract: The paper deals with the identification of the factors of cotton policies effectiveness in Franc Zone African Countries, from a retrospective analysis of fifty years. Cotton policy is assimilated to a set of institutional arrangements, i.e. rules, or groups of rules, impacting the interaction between players involved in cotton production, through their exchanges of goods, services or information. The analysis of the cotton policy effectiveness derives from the study of the institutional arrangements which compose it. It is contended that the effectiveness of an institutional arrangement depends upon its composition to respond to farmers' constraints and concerns as well as the way it has been set up. Emphasis is put on five major constraints and concerns. The demonstration makes profit of the great contrast of the institutional arrangements during two phases of cotton policies, prior and after the cotton sectors went into reform by the 1990s.
