  12. 5. Opportunities • Increased Global visibility of CAADP at the level of the G8: from Gleneagles to Yokohama • Increased multi-lateral and bi-lateral support thereby bringing Agriculture back onto the Global Agenda • CAADP is a lot more visible as a result • US $11Bn (global) to enhance CAADP on the ground and related responses to rising food prices • ECAAA paper on advancing Agriculture • Increased World Bank support aligned to CAADP • CAADP Multi-Donor Trust Fund • Unquestionable African Political Commitment to support Agriculture • New money from foundations to support African Agriculture
