On 8-9 October, ReSAKSS-Africa Wide coordinator Godfrey Bahiigwa attended the CAADP PP business meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa. Preceded by a technical meeting on October 6-7, this was a planning meeting for African Union Commission (AUC), NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA), Regional Economic Communities (RECs) with ReSAKSS participating to explore how to strengthen partnerships aimed at improving coordination and alignment of programs in support of CAADP implementation. This is part of the broader agenda on how to sustain CAADP momentum in the coming 5-10 years.
In 2013, it will be 10 years since the Africa-owned and growth-oriented agricultural framework was endorsed in Maputo in 2003. While this CAADP PP was about strengthening partnerships, discussions about the future of CAADP came up and invoked two strong but opposed reactions from stakeholders : on one hand, some argued that CAADP should have done more in terms of expected outcomes in its 10 years of existence, including food security, incomes, exports, poverty reduction, etc. ; on the other hand, some people are more optimistic : they believe much has been achieved under CAADP, especially on progress of getting CAADP understood and accepted, given the fact that more than half of African states have signed CAADP compacts and developed investment plans in the last 4 years.
