The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) is a framework to stimulate and guide efforts to strengthen Africa's agricultural capacity. It aims to achieve food security, reduce poverty, and spur economic growth through annual agricultural productivity increases of 6% by 2015. CAADP supports this by mobilizing resources, increasing investment plans, and monitoring progress across African countries. Implementation requires evidence-based planning, policy reforms, strengthened institutions, and partnerships to finance projects and build implementation capacity.
