The 2017 Benchmark is 3.94 which is the miminum overall SCORE for a country to be on track in 2017.
- It is recommended for Country A to review its National Agriculture Investment
Plan (NAIP) in a way to deliver on each specific target of the Malabo Declaration.
- The country has to strengthen its agricultural data management system to be able
to report on missing indicators to fully report on Malabo Declaration, such as post-
harvest loss (PHL); youth involvement in agriculture; households and vulnerable
social group protected by resilience building initiatives; amongst others.
- Burkina Faso should develop and implement strategies that will increase
agricultural inputs such as the use of fertilizer to boost agriculture productivity.

19. BR reports at AUC/NEPAD level
• After RECs processes- reports sent by RECs to AUC
• Writeshop organized in Nairobi for AUC, RECs, ReSAKSS and
TN on KM members experts on 24-28th Sept 2017 to review
regional submissions and compile continental reports
• The Draft continental report from Nairobi was presented at
the AUC Specialized Technical Committee (AUC STC) in first
week of October 2017
• Report being revised to account for comments from the
