SUMMARY:Launch of the CAADP 3rd Biennial Review Report
DESCRIPTION:Background and Context \nThe 3rd Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Biennial Review (BR) Report was endorsed by the assembly of African Heads of State and Government during 35th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union Heads of State and Government in February 2022. The BR is the primary mutual accountability mechanism that the African Union and its Member States use to track the implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development programme (CAADP) borne from the Malabo Declaration and the t Biennial Review Report is a fundamental instrument that shows outcomes of different agricultural efforts and interventions on the continent\, to enable countries track\, measure and report progress achieved against agreed result areas. \nIn the 3rd BR cycle\, 51 countries (out of 55) reported performance across 46 indicators. The report is particularly significant as it is being released after two of the most difficult years for African agriculture: since early 2020\, the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged health systems\, depressed agricultural production\, and disrupted market systems. Smallholder producers and SMEs\, most of them run by women and youth\, bore the brunt of COVID. But even before COVID\, the fall armyworm infestation (between 2018 and 2019) was a serious concern\, and a persistent desert locust outbreak from 2019 saw crops and pasture destroyed. In addition\, African countries continued to deal with the vagaries of climate change with growing frequency of extreme weather events signaling the need for more aggressive mitigation and climate-related adaptions. Against this backdrop the 3rd BR report\, titled “Accelerating CAADP Implementation for a Resilient\nAfrican Food System” will be an important basis for dialogue and action on agricultural development in Africa. \nThe Report is timely as it comes mid-way through the implementation of the Malabo commitments and goals to be achieved by 2025. It also comes shortly after the yearlong UNFSS process that focused attention on food systems in 2021. The objective of the BR report is to stimulate post-BR dialogues and action processes\, that show performance of African countries towards achieving the Malabo Goals and facilitate dialogue\, learning band action within countries and RECS. \nThe launch of the 3rd BR report is in line with efforts aimed at increasing awareness and advocacy among all stakeholder and to build momentum behind the CAADP Agenda for increased political\, policy and financial commitment. The specific objectives are: \nFind Attached the Concept note and The Launch Agenda \nAgenda -Launch of the 3rd CAADP BR Report -10 March 2022 \nConcept Note – Launch of the 3rd CAADP Biennial Review Report Launch \n
