19. How will FARA support CAADP KIS
• FARA has become a stronger organization, better able to fulfill
its role as the apex organization for African ARD
• FARA’s knowledge support to CAADP KIS is to ensure that the
country process benefits from:
• Human and institutional capacity it needs
• Advocacy and communication to enable policy makers have
the evidence-based information they need to formulate
enabling policies
• Partnerships to enable constituents have access to the
knowledge, information and skills they need to effectively
plan and implement CAADP interventions

20. How will FARA support CAADP KIS
• FARA’s knowledge support to CAADP KIS would be to:
• Determine outcomes through observation, foresight,
strategic analyses, partnerships, catalysing appropriate
responses
• Creating and filling capacity needs by connecting,
integrating and educating
• Enabling implementation through advocacy and
communication to generate enabling policies and ensure
that they get the stakeholder support required for
implementation

21. CAADP is a Pan-African Framework that defines a set of principles and
targets to guide country strategies and investment programmes
Countries are encouraged to adopt the CAADP framework if they are
to increase agricultural productivity, access markets, reduce food
insecurity, create wealth and income and reduce poverty
FARA is ready to deliver knowledge and skills to support the CAADP
country process
