Progress on boosting Non-State Actor participation in CAADP

Dear Readers

This is just a brief note to reassure you that progress is being made on Non State Actor participation in CAADP.

The "Guidelines" are almost drafted and translation work has begun. These should be available by the end of January.

The Non State Actor working group is also considering its ongoing role in promoting the guidelines, and providing an ongoing platform through which Non State Actors can co-ordinate their support for CAADP at the continental level. Again, clarity should be achieved by the end of the month and information will then be circulated on how interested parties such as yourself could engage.

We are also starting to plan visits to CAADP country teams through which to discuss the quality of Non State Actor participation, develop a strategy for improving this, and, overall, to ensure that the CAADP agenda fulfils its potential by building a coalition for agricultural transformation that is as strong as possible. Please get in touch if you think your country or regional team would welcome such support.

Finally we can celebrate the appointment of the NSA working group's Chair, Chief Alangeh Romanus Che of PROPAC, and our Vice Chair, Lucy Muchoki of PANAAC.

Keep up the good work wherever you are!
Yours sincerely
Ian Randall
Consultant supporting the CAADP NSA Working Group
