Description: "Based on empirical studies, this paper identifies key reforms and defines strategies to enhance the competitiveness of the cotton sector in West and Central Africa. Lessons learned from the 1990s suggest that transferring public property to private enterprise is not enough, by itself, to put the sector back on a sustainable path."--BOOK JACKET.
