These changes in lifestyles have implications for the food system and nutritional status of populations.

Cette étude fait la synthèse des réflexions menées sur le rôle des Collectivités locales (CL) dans les Systèmes d'approvisionnement et de distribution alimentaires (SADA) des villes de l'Afrique de l'Ouest. La question de l'implication des CL dans les SADA se pose car les politiques de décentralisation en cours dans les Etats africains depuis les années 80, favorisent l'émergence d'un pouvoir local. Les régions, les communes et les communautés rurales qui constituent l'Administration de proximité ont vu ainsi s'accroître leurs compétences dans la gestion des affaires locales.
