I. What worked well/progresses? • Long term ownership/vision/commitment/prioritization • Financial and technical commitment from partner institutions • Very high political commitment in national investment policy • Constant backward/forward evaluation – keep track at different levels (input/output) (M & E) • Empirically based appropriate policy in place • E.g. Fertilizer input • Accessibility/availability • Better access to information via collective/cooperative action • Declaration of clear targets (10% budge/ 6% growth) • CAADP is a well structured program based on Pillars • Institutionalized structure for dialogue in place
II. What are the challenges? • Continuity/sustainability of the institutional framework of implementation/resources availability • Embedding NAIP in national / local planning budgets • Weak private sector involvement (planning and policy dialogue...) • Tracking progress/impact • Capacity of CAADP country teams is different from one country to another • Ownership/leadership of the national / local government • Institutionalizing the country team/CAADP-NAIP within existing government system • National statistics system (available/reliability) • Comprehensiveness of the sector
III. Way forward: institutional/policy reform • Evidence based planning, monitoring, evaluation, knowledge sharing, SAKSS country nodes – strengthening • Improved multi-sectoral collaboration • Situate CAADP structures within national/local Govt. framework
