CAADP Context

• CAADP is a continental framework adopted by the Heads of State and Government as one of Africa’s priority programmes

• CAADP’s Key Objectives are to:– Ensure agriculture led growth (to reach MDG1) by target

6% annual growth rate in agriculture productivity– Increase public investment to 10% of public share– Designed 4 main pillars to guide growth, development

and investment– Ensure the inclusivity of the process by involving farmers,

private sector, non-governmental organisations and stakeholders

– Forster a culture of efficiency, evidence based learning and accountability

Triggers behind CAADP …

… at the close of the 20th Century:• Low economic growth rates in Africa• Escalating poverty levels• Low attention to, and investment in, agriculture

sector• A need to achieve the MDGs / Food insecurity• High food import bills in Africa• Low agric. production and productivity• Impact of natural and human induced disasters• Inadequate regional trade policies and access to

markets

Impact of CAADP – The Case of Rwanda (1)

• 2007 - Rwanda signed the CAADP Compact

• What has been the Impact ? Improved planning, M&E /MAF CAADP team integrated in the ASWG Harmonised action with DPs – from project to

programme approach through the SWAp Improved allocation of resources – both human and

financial resources Improved inter- ministerial collaboration Business meeting (11/2009) – have since mobilised 75-

80% of the required funds

• Leveraging private investments - moving towards public – Private – Sector Partnerships e.g. horticulture, aquaculture, whole sale markets

• Policy reforms, strengthened decentralisation– Land Consolidation, crop prioritization and zoning, input supply – achieved food security for the first time in 2009 & annual sector growth of 15%

Progress in Implementing CAADP

• In the last decade:

– 18 countries have maintained an average economic growth of 5.5%

– 10 countries met the 6% CAADP agricultural growth rate in 2008

– The decline in the average malnutrition rate is encouraging, but is still high at 29%

– About 13 countries are making sufficient progress towards the hunger/poverty MDG targets

– 10 countries have reached or exceeded Maputo 10% commitment

Independent review purpose• Review

– The purpose of the technical review is to enhance the quality of agricultural development and increase effectiveness of domestic and foreign development assistance for agricultural growth, food security and reduction of hunger and poverty. I

– Help ensure that every possible action is being taken to achieve the objectives and targets laid out in the plan and defined in the CAADP agenda will be met.

– Lay the groundwork for successful implementation of the strategy approved at the compact roundtable and reflected in the compact and NAIP
