scores are compared.
2017 Benchmark: Minimum score in 2017 for a country to be
able to achieve the Malabo Targets by 2025.
On-Track: when the score of a country is equal or more than the
Benchmark.
Not On-Track: when the score of a country is less than the
Benchmark.

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 A 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.
- The Country A should develop and implement strategies that will increase
agricultural inputs such as the use of fertilizer to boost agriculture productivity.
