The Crop Sector Development Strategy for Eastern Africa 2021 - 2026 defines a series of goals and interventions agreed by representatives of the Ministries of Agriculture from the countries within the jurisdiction of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Subregional Office for Eastern Africa, as well as inputs from FAO representatives in the member countries, the East African Community Secretariat, the Intergovernmental Authority on Development Secretariat, the Desert Locust Control Organization for Eastern Africa and the CGIAR centres. The Strategy presents a holistic approach to improving crop production and productivity through a unified approach. This should be seen as a starting point for programmes and initiatives aimed at growing crops better, bridging yield gaps, feeding people with more nutritious food and enabling farmers to practice agriculture as a business so that they are better positioned to support their families. The higher aim of the Strategy is to contribute to the realization of the goals of the African Union, as enshrined in the Malabo Commitments to end hunger through accelerating agricultural growth by at least doubling agricultural productivity levels and halving levels of post-harvest losses. FAO is committed to achieving the overall goal of ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in the world through better rural livelihoods, improved agricultural productivity as well as through the contribution to the sustainable growth of national and regional economies. This Strategy serves as another critical element in the repertoire of tools at our disposal to ensure no one is left behind. -

The Workshop was convened in order to consultatively engage stakeholders to review relevant crop production and protection activities which included plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRF A), seed delivery systems, post harvest handling for key commodities, inputs strategies, pesticide risk reduction and pesticide management, and integrated pest management with a view of obtaining input for the subregional reports on crop production and protection strategies and approaches. The Workshop was attended by participants who comprised representatives of governments from the Ministry of Agriculture (two senior officers per country). In addition, some participants and facilitat ors were invited to represent regional organizations for Eastern Africa (ASARECA and the DLCO-EA) as well as FAO Africa and Regional Offices (RAF, EARO and FAOSFS).
