The course based on the CAADP Pillar 3 Framework for African Food Security (FAFS). It aims to provide an overview of the CAADP process and its linkages to food security. -

Integrating livestock, forestry and fisheries subsectors into the CAADP

The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) programme for agriculture, the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), has been cast to deliberately focus on investment into three mutually reinforcing "pillars" that can make the earliest difference to Africa: (i) extending the area under sustainable land management and reliable water control systems; (ii) improving rural infrastructure and trade-related capacities for improved market access; and (iii) increasing food supply and reducing hunger. -

No results found.Given that agriculture is an important driving economic force of all African economies, many national, subregional and regional cooperation efforts on sustainable agricultural development have been at the top of the agendas of African countries as they work towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, especially in relation to tackling the continent’s high rates of poverty and food insecurity and malnutrition. Acute and chronic malnutrition among children, in particular, represent considerable socioeconomic hardships and forgone opportunities for sustainable economic growth, shared prosperity and the right to food for all. Against this backdrop, the African Union (AU) Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), established by the AU Assembly of Heads of State and Government through the 2003 Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security in Africa, was developed to improve food security and nutrition and increase incomes throughout Africa’s largely agriculture-based economies. The CAADP aims to reposition agriculture at the centre of Africa’s development agenda and has, since 2003, enabled countries to address key transformational issues embedded in, or closely linked to, agriculture. Many countries have improved agricultural development planning and policy design processes, with over 40 of them implementing National Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plans (NAFSIPs). Likewise, Regional Economic Communities (RECs) are adding value to national initiatives through the formulation and implementation of Regional Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plans (RAFSIPs). The CAADP is recognized as the flagship strategy guiding agricultural development in Africa, tailored to and driven by each country. Even though new investment streams have been identified and average public expenditure for agriculture doubled since the adoption of the CAADP, not all countries follow this trend. Private investment for agricultural development has been constrained by insufficient enabling environments and intersectoral coordination of agricultural, trade and industrial development plans to incentivize investments. In addition, lending risks associated with the uncertainty and variability of agricultural outputs and incomes, insecure land tenure issues, gender inequality in access to credit and disincentives to lend to rural, unemployed youth have prevented the African agricultural development agenda from being more inclusive. Low investment in agricultural research and slow adoption of modern farming, mechanization and post-harvest technologies have impacted productivity, which has grown at half the rate of agriculturalsectors in other developing regions.
