  3. 10 years of CADP “Lessons and Insights”

  4. Gains, progress and achievements ✍ A continental Agenda • Agriculture is back to political-policy agenda • Growing Political commitment to increase budgetary allocations of public budget • Mobilised Africa around a common agenda ✍ Transformational drive • Better planning (evidence-based; inclusive; specific priorities; clear budget) • Catalysing engagement (partnerships and alliances) across sectors, disciplines and boundaries • Renewed energy on delivering results • Renewed urge for quality data / Information

  5. Gains, progress and achievements ✍ Production/Productivity and value adding • Making a case for regional integration • Noting and responding to emerging issues (climate change; globalisation; youthful pop & migration; land acquisition: etc…) • Specific commodities – yield rise/stabilisation • Reduced vulnerability in face of extreme weather

  6. Challenges and limitations What stakeholders are saying: • too much focus on the issue of public financing; • too much focus on the supply side and not on making markets work • weak inter-ministerial and inter-sectorial coordination • risk of bureaucratization = talks no action on concrete concerns of agriculture • multiplicity of initiatives • Coherence in leadership (especially consensus in regional and continental processes) • Urgent and compelling case for immediate food and livelihood needs

  7. However !!

  8. The African Context • Africa still: food insecure; low agric productivity; low rural incomes • Urbanization: 50% urban by 2035 • Youthful population (40% under age 23) • Globalization of the food systems • Agriculture-Trade link ambiguous • CAADP providing the instrument to respond to challenges and opportunities • CAADP vision still valid

  9. Where to: Sustaining the CAADP Momentum 1st decade: Key Insights (1) Poverty, Hunger and Malnutrition – one of the most critical factors “pulling down” Africa socio-economic growth and development Trade and Market (national / regional) in reforming Agriculture – Commercial Agriculture Political will and leadership – taking the action

  10. Where to: Sustaining the CAADP Momentum Underlining Agriculture as driver for poverty alleviation, food security and elimination of hunger 1st decade: Key Insights (3) • Positioning ‘wealth creation’ as primary driver for agriculture development (Jobs & Incomes) • Deliberate policy drivers to improve Africa’s capacity to be food secure – at all levels (food security and food sovereignty) • Increase quantity and quality of public investments that leverage private investments • A regional and inter-regional trade agenda essential for sustaining success • Policies and Institutions

  11. Next 10 years of CADP “Action to deliver impact” {Sustaining CAADP momentum}

  12. Agriculture Transformation; capacity & enabling environment Productivity, Production & wealth creation CAADP … making a difference on two impact areas … ✍ Planning capacity (evidence-based; inclusive; predictable & accountable) ✍Productivity – Intensification; science and technology; strategic commodities including livestock & fish; wealth creation • Policy environment: Accountable; inclusive, informed policy design processes; elevating interests of the “masses” in public policy ✍Competitive and viable agriculture including value addition (agro-industry and commerce; entrepreneurship) • Institutional and skills development (capacity for effective and efficient execution & delivery; Partnerships) ✍Aligning with ecosystem potential and resilience and sustainability objectives • Critical mass of resolute, decisive & accountable leadership; Governance • Expand investment financing (public and private)

  13. Where to: Sustaining the CAADP Momentum Impact to which Agriculture contributes Changes in African agriculture resulting from the implementation of CAADP (Agriculture systems transformed and Production-productivity improved) Specific CAADP added value of CAADP support and interventions to institutional transformation and CAADP operational effectiveness is measured at this level
