9th CAADP Partnership Platform

The African Union Commission (AUC) and the NEPAD Agency will hold the 9th Comprehensive African Agriculture Development (CAADP) Partnership Platform (PP) from March 25 to 26, to evaluate progress and achievements made in implementing CAADP.

CAADP is the Continent’s main development programme to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty through agriculture. It has a clear objective to raise agricultural productivity in Africa to at least 6 per cent annually and requires African countries to commit at least ten per cent of their national budgets to agricultural development.

The PP is an annual high-level partnership platform, bringing together key stakeholders such as African governments, policy makers, civil society organisations and farmers’ organisations to assess progress made in implementing the CAADP goals.

About 200 delegates from Africa and outside the Continent will attend the meeting at the AU’s headquarters in Addis Ababa, which will open on March 25.

CAADP Partnership Platform: 25 – 26 March 2013, African Union Conference Centre, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Theme: ‘Sustaining the CAADP Momentum - from Decisions and Commitments to Implementation for Results for Impact’

The following meetings will also be held during the same period and are strictly by invitation:

AUC/NPCA/RECs Meeting: 24 March 2013, African Union Conference Centre, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
CAADP PP Business Meeting: 27 March 2013, African Union Conference Centre, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
