Synopsis (short abstract) 1. The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) is a strategic framework adopted by the African Union during its 37thsummit in July 2001. Among the various sectoral priorities identified, agriculture and environment have the most bearing on forests and forestry in Africa. Within the framework of agriculture, the NEPAD Secretariat with the help of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has prepared the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). CA ADP has focused on four pillars of agricultural development, namely: (a) land and water management, (b) rural infrastructure and trade related capacities for improved market access, (c) increased food supply and reduction of hunger and (d) agricultural research, technology dissemination and adoption.
