Logical Framework Logical framework Indicators Source of information and assumptions Overall objective O.: Contribute to achieving food sovereignty by improving the intra-regional trade flows and market regulation of agro-food products. Reduced imports of food products. Stabilized and better integrated market Poor regional production and high international price volatility undermine systems set up. Specific objectives SO 1: Establish border trade mechanisms to manage the impact of international price volatility on regional markets. SO 2: Promote regulation initiatives and mechanisms for improving the fluidity of the interior regional market. ECOWAS develops operational border protection instruments allowing for structural adjustments as well as short-term changes in import prices. Inter-annual coefficients of variation of imported goods on local markets are lower than those observed on the international market Intra-annual coefficients of variation on food products are lower than the average of the previous ten years and continue to fall. ECOWAS Trade Department Information System on international (mundi index, FAO, etc.), regional (Eco Agris, WAMIN) and national markets Risk: border mechanisms do not cover every strategic product for regional food security. High exposure to natural or market hazards in certain zones brings an ongoing risk for the viability and sustainability of local MFIs, stock management and marketing. Outcomes Outcome 1.1: ECOWAS establishes effective border mechanisms adapted to the specificities of the regional market for agricultural products. ▪ Strategic products for agriculture and food security are maintained in the fifth band ▪ Special accompanying safeguard measures are contained within the border protection mechanism ECOWAS Department Negotiations are only partially successful and some strategic products are left out. Outcome 1.2: border mechanisms are recognized in international agreements to which the region is implicated ▪ ECOWAS member countries share a common position during negotiations with exterior trade partners ▪ Border mechanisms (CET, special and complementary safeguard mechanisms) are applied to extra regional trade partners ECOWAS department
