This document summarizes analytical support provided to guide the design of second-generation National Agricultural Investment Plans (NAIPs 2.0) in alignment with the Malabo commitments in African countries. Over 200 local experts across various thematic areas were trained. Key deliverables included status assessment and profile reports, goals and milestones reports, and policy and program opportunities reports for various countries. The reports analyzed baseline progress, prospective scenarios of business as usual versus achieving Malabo targets, and policy requirements to meet targets for priorities like reducing poverty and hunger, increasing agricultural productivity and trade.
The document discusses key concepts and tools for the African Agricultural Transformation Scorecard (AATS). The AATS is used as an advocacy tool to track country progress on commitments in the Malabo Declaration. It discusses scorecard concepts like targets, milestones, indicators, benchmarks, and scoring. Scores are calculated based on a country's effort and performance toward commitments, and a zero score is given if data is unavailable. Transparency is ensured through documentation of algorithms and data sources online. Definitions of terms used in scorecards like benchmarks, targets, indicators, and milestones are also provided.
The document summarizes the African Union's process for conducting a Biennial Review on the implementation of the Malabo Declaration by member states. It outlines the commitments under the Malabo Declaration, the indicators used to assess country performance, and the coordination mechanism for preparing country and regional reports. Member states are scored on 43 indicators across 7 commitment areas. Country scorecards are generated to show progress, with scores below the 2017 benchmark indicating areas that are "not on track" to meet Malabo targets. The summary provides an example scorecard for Country A and highlights areas of strong performance and those requiring attention.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted global trade and commodity markets, negatively impacting food systems in Africa. Using simulation models, the document analyzes the effects of changes in international prices and trade volumes of primary commodities exported by 23 African countries. It finds that food processing and services were most vulnerable. Countries with diversified exports were less impacted. It recommends diversifying export baskets and adopting digital technologies to strengthen food systems against external shocks.

Developing a Livestock Agri-Food Systems Research Program for the CGIAR: Back...ILRI
This document discusses developing a livestock research program for the CGIAR. It begins by highlighting the importance of livestock to livelihoods, nutrition and economies in developing countries. Smallholder farmers currently produce most livestock. Three scenarios for meeting growing demand for livestock products are presented: importing, industrializing production, or transforming smallholder systems. Transforming smallholder systems in a sustainable way is argued to be the most feasible option.
The document then discusses organizing research around trajectories of livestock sector growth and challenges. Priority research areas are identified as sustainable intensification, resilience, genetics, health, feeds, environment and agri-food systems. Key criteria for selecting priority locations include opportunities for intensification, resilience and inclusion. Partnerships with other
The document summarizes key findings from a report on agriculture in Africa. It finds that since the CAADP agreement in 2003, African countries have seen increases in agricultural expenditures, GDP growth, poverty reduction, and nutrition. However, economic growth prior to 2003 was stagnant. Current growth is driven by improved policies, investments, and commodity prices. Going forward, sustaining growth will require strong industrialization strategies, reducing infrastructure gaps, and maintaining gains in governance. The report highlights the continued relevance of goals in the Malabo agreement to end hunger and reduce poverty by 2025 through agricultural transformation.
Rice production, area, and consumption have increased substantially in sub-Saharan Africa between 2008-2018, however self-sufficiency levels have decreased. While rice area and production grew by 40% and 55% respectively, consumption rose even faster at 81%, leading to a widening gap. Yield growth also slowed after initial increases following the 2008 food crisis. To achieve rice self-sufficiency by 2025, production would need to increase at over 16% annually through increased investments estimated at $2.7 billion under a new investment plan for 10 pilot countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Additional policy measures are also needed such as reducing rice imports and supporting improved technologies, organization of value chains, and market access for producers.
This document analyzes how CAADP implementation has contributed to agricultural and economic growth in Africa. It finds that countries that signed CAADP compacts earlier, by 2009 or 2011, have achieved the fastest progress toward CAADP targets of 10% agricultural expenditure and 6% agricultural GDP growth. These countries also experienced more rapid income growth and poverty reduction between 2003-2014 compared to later compact signers or non-signers. However, results varied year-to-year, showing challenges in sustaining commitments over time. The author concludes CAADP has likely helped growth and poverty reduction in longer-implementing countries but that more detailed analysis is still needed.

Impact of Digital Technology on Livestock Farming by Adeshile, Adedeji RichardDeji Richard Adeshile
1) The document proposes using digital technology and platforms to help address clashes between farmers and herdsmen in Nigeria over land and resources. It suggests creating platforms for citizen engagement, adopting digital currency, and providing skills training and startup funding for improved livestock farming.
2) A key part of the proposal is establishing an "Automation, Training and Mentorship Programme" using e-commerce platforms, digital currency, and technologies like animal tracking to bring greater efficiency, inclusion, and innovation to the livestock and dairy industries.
3) The role of governments and development partners would be to set up funds to support herdsmen and ranching, establish advisory councils, license milk collection centers, and regulate digital currency through

2) It identifies opportunities for Farming Systems information to strengthen CAADP by mainstreaming land management in investment plans and identifies gaps in current implementation.
3) A Farming Systems framework could complement commodity-based value chain targeting in CAADP plans by providing a more nuanced understanding of agricultural production systems and the relationships between farming and non-farm activities.
FAO 28th Regional Conference for Africa: CAADP implementationFAO
The document discusses progress and challenges in implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) over the past 10 years. It notes that while agricultural GDP growth has reduced poverty, progress has been insufficient to achieve CAADP's goal of 10% budget allocation to agriculture and 6% annual growth. Ongoing challenges include financial dependency on donors, weak market integration and coordination. The conference aims to accelerate transformation by enabling private investment, science and technology, and building implementation capacity.
The Brussels Development Briefing n.47 on the subject of “Regional Trade in Africa: Drivers, Trends and Opportunities” took place on 3rd February 2017 in Brussels at the ACP Secretariat (Avenue Georges Henri 451, 1200 Brussels) from 09:00 to 13:00. This Briefing was organised by the ACP-EU Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA), in collaboration with IFPRI, the European Commission / DEVCO, the ACP Secretariat, and CONCORD .
1) The document discusses investments needed to meet key goals of the SADC Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (SADC-RISDP) and the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) in Southern Africa by 2015.
2) It finds that current levels of public investment in agriculture in the region are low and not sufficient to achieve the goals. Agricultural spending averages only 2.4% of total public spending.
3) The document estimates that countries will need to increase agricultural spending by 20-30% annually based on returns to investments. Higher investments are needed in areas like infrastructure, extension, research, and inputs to boost agricultural productivity.
The forum aimed to accelerate private sector-led agricultural development in Southern Africa, focusing on small-scale agriculture. It brought together a broad range of stakeholders, including farmers, financiers, governments, and multilateral organizations. Major themes included maximizing efficiencies for farmers, improving partnerships and the enabling environment, increasing access to finance and investment, and promoting inclusive private sector strategies. The forum featured presentations, panel discussions, and small group work, culminating in a "Marketplace of Ideas" session to develop tangible partnerships and investment opportunities. The opening remarks emphasized the importance of agriculture for development and strategies like competitive smallholders, engaging multiple sectors, regional cooperation, and reinvesting gains.

Similar to Expectations for the January 2018 Biennial Review (20)
This document presents a framework for measuring country-level resilience that integrates micro-level household resilience indicators and macro-level health system capacity indicators. A Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis is used to measure household resilience, while a new Health Systems Capacity Index measures basic health infrastructure. Countries are clustered based on these two metrics. Empirical analysis shows health systems capacity is significantly associated with food insecurity and resilience outcomes. The framework allows for a comprehensive approach to contextualizing food security policies in light of health shocks like COVID-19.
This document tracks key indicators and implementation processes for the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). It summarizes that over 40 countries have drafted Malabo-compliant agriculture investment plans and over 50 participated in the recent biennial review process. It also analyzes trends for several indicators, finding that government agriculture expenditure declined from 2.5% to 2.1% of spending between 2014-2019/2020, though agriculture growth was positive in 2020 at 2.4%. Undernourishment and poverty levels had been decreasing but are projected to have risen sharply in 2020 due to COVID-19 impacts, reversing prior progress toward CAADP goals. Increased investments are urgently needed to boost resilience and productivity.
The document provides an agenda and recap of the first day of the 2021 ReSAKSS Conference. The conference objectives are to discuss the 2021 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) and examine issues related to food systems, vulnerability, resilience, and progress implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). Day 1 included opening remarks, keynote presentations on the ATOR and COVID-19 impacts, and panel discussions on related topics. Day 2 will feature presentations and discussions on country responses to COVID-19, social protection, and measurement issues discussed in the ATOR. The full ATOR and conference presentations will be made available online.
This document discusses measuring progress toward goals in the Malabo Declaration in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It proposes a health systems sensitive resilience index to supplement existing indicators. The approach develops a resilience capacities index considering health systems capacity and economic/country factors. Results show regional differences and rank country resilience. Incorporating this index with an existing Malabo indicator shifts some country rankings. The author concludes replicating high-resilience models and early identification of vulnerable countries could help direct resources to avert crises.

African countries have diversified both their exports and trade partners over the last decade, African agricultural trade still suffers from structural problems as well as exogenous shocks. Against this backdrop, the 2021 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM) analyzes continental and regional trends in African agricultural trade flows and policies. The report finds that many African countries continue to enjoy the most success in global markets with cash crops and niche products. At the intra-African level, countries are becoming more interconnected in trade of key commodities, but there remain many potential but unexploited trade relationships. The report examines the livestock sector in detail, finding that despite its important role in Africa, the sector is concentrated in low value- added products that are informally traded. The report also examines trade integration in the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), which remains limited due to factors including tariffs, nontariff measures, poor transport infrastructure, and weak institutions. Finally, the report discusses the implications of two major events affecting African trade in 2020 and 2021: the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
This document provides an overview of the programs and activities of AKADEMIYA2063, an organization that uses data and analytics for evidence-based policy planning and implementation in Africa. It describes AKADEMIYA2063's continental and subnational tracking platforms that facilitate review and benchmarking of countries' progress. It also outlines their capacities for data analysis, strategic growth analysis, investment prioritization, vulnerability assessments, and policy innovation platforms. Major publications produced include the Malabo Montpellier Panel reports, the Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor, and the official CAADP trends and outlook report.
This document summarizes the impact of COVID-19 on staple food prices in Southern Africa, with a focus on maize markets in Malawi. Government restrictions to curb the pandemic disrupted markets and trade. In Malawi, maize prices in both urban and rural areas declined significantly compared to predictions as demand fell and supply rose due to recent harvests. Border restrictions impacted cross-border trade more than domestic markets. Future responses should minimize disruptions to local and cross-border trade to reduce negative effects on producers, businesses, and food access.
This document summarizes a machine learning framework for forecasting food crop production in Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic. Remotely sensed data from satellites, including measurements of vegetation health, land surface temperature, and rainfall, were used to train neural networks. The models generated forecasts of maize production for 2020 in Malawi, identifying areas likely to see declines compared to 2017. Maps showed expected temperature increases and rainfall declines across the country. The conclusions call for building resilient food systems and increased data/analytics capacity to support policy responses to food crises.
The document discusses the effects of COVID-19 on agriculture in Malawi. It presents findings from research on the impacts of market disruptions and restrictions on maize prices in surplus and deficit areas of Malawi. Spatial analysis identified districts highly vulnerable to food insecurity impacts from COVID-19 due to factors like population density, disease burdens, and limited health infrastructure. Remote sensing data and machine learning techniques were used to analyze potential disruptions to food production systems and predict declines in 2020 maize production in some areas of Malawi compared to 2017 levels. Global trade disruptions and lower international prices for commodities exported from Malawi were found to cause slight reductions in GDP growth and increases in overall and urban poverty.
This document analyzes community vulnerability to COVID-19 in Malawi using spatial data. It finds the Southern Region and several districts within have the highest overall vulnerability due to factors like high stunting rates, low food expenditures, and poor access to healthcare. Urban areas like cities face high vulnerability from population density. Food price changes in 2020 decreased demand for key micronutrients in both rural and urban households, with a larger impact on rural areas, potentially exacerbating existing micronutrient deficiencies. The analysis identifies priority areas for crisis prevention and mitigation based on chronic vulnerability.
This document summarizes a study that used remote sensing data and machine learning to model and forecast food crop production in six West African countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Satellite imagery was analyzed to generate maps of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), land surface temperature, and rainfall over time. These inputs were fed into an artificial neural network model along with crop mask and production data to establish relationships and predict future crop outputs. The results showed forecasts of millet production in Senegal from 2005-2017 that could help planners address food insecurity risks from pandemic disruptions.
The document analyzes the effects of changes in international commodity prices and global trade disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic on economic growth and poverty in West Africa. It finds:
- Agricultural commodity prices fell more than predicted in 2020, deteriorating terms of trade for most West African countries.
- GDP growth was lower and poverty increased more than predicted in most countries due to agricultural commodity price and trade shocks. Both urban and rural poverty rose.
- The results suggest a need to scale up social protection, diversify exports, increase agricultural investments and accelerate agricultural policy implementation to protect rural and urban populations.
This document identifies COVID-19 vulnerability hot spots in West Africa through a composite vulnerability index. It finds that northern Mali, northern Nigeria, southern Niger and Burkina Faso show the highest levels of vulnerability due to factors like limited healthcare access, malnutrition, and overcrowding. The document also analyzes how food price increases in Nigeria between April and September 2020 could decrease consumption of key nutrients. Rising cereal prices are projected to significantly cut demand for calories, proteins, iron, zinc and other micronutrients, especially in rural areas. Targeting responses to the most vulnerable areas and minimizing market disruptions can help reduce the pandemic's nutritional impacts.

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

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.
