Evaluate the implementation of NAIPs in all countries;
Upgrade knowledge about the state of progress of the RAIP and its prospects;
Review emerging issues in agricultural and rural development in the pursuit of sustainable food security for all and poverty reduction;
Identify conditions that allow effective relaunch and acceleration of the implementation of NAIPs, reinforced with the integration of such issues and regional programmes and initiatives
Define ways of developing systems for monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of NAIPs.
