This document summarizes progress on key CAADP indicators based on data from ReSAKSS. It finds that while some indicators like agricultural GDP and intra-African agricultural trade have increased steadily, most of Africa remains below the CAADP targets of 6% annual agricultural growth and 10% of government expenditure going to agriculture. Progress has also slowed or reversed on indicators like undernourishment prevalence and poverty levels in recent years. It concludes Africa must improve agricultural productivity and efficiency, boost value-added intra-African trade under AfCFTA, and allocate government agriculture expenditures based on evidence to achieve the CAADP goals.
International Anti-Corruption Day 2023 A key outstanding African milestone.pdfJohn Leonardo
Saturday 9 December 2023 was International Anti-Corruption Day 2023. In this video we review Africa’s progress in reducing corruption during 2012-2022 using country scores published by Transparency International in their Corruption Perceptions Index 2022 report. We identify the relative performance of 53 African countries and demonstrate the proportion of Africa’s population in countries in each of the three anti-corruption performance categories used in our analysis. We also reveal Africa’s overall performance in a global context as well as African subregional performance.

2021 Corruption Perceptions Index North Africa performance 2012 2021John Leonardo
Short, medium and long-term corruption trends for North Africa are discussed in this presentation using scores published by Transparency International in their 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) report. North Africa’s regional performance in terms of rate of improvement in country CPI scores was ranked first out of the five African regions during 2012-2021. At a country level, North Africa’s performance in terms of rate of improvement in country CPI scores was, however, mixed during 2012-2021. Results are presented for each country during 2012-2021, 2012-2017, 2017-2021 and 2020-2021.
This paper analyses the impact of Over the Top applications (OTTs) on mobile operator revenues. Operators have argued that OTTs have cannibalised voice and SMS revenues and warned that the resulting decline of overall revenues leads to lower investment in network infrastructure; substandard quality of service; lower tax revenues and lower licensing revenues. This paper investigates this claim by using publicly available information from mobile operators across Africa to analyse trends in voice, SMS and data revenues.
The paper analyses three factors impacting revenue trends: changes in usage pattern across voice, SMS and data, the impact of regulatory interventions and choice of business model.
The paper shows that most operators across Africa have experienced strong revenue growth due to an OTT-induced increase in data revenues that outpaces potential decreases in voice and SMS revenues.
Only a few operators saw a decline in service revenues over the last five years. Factors explaining the decline include regulatory interventions, economic decline of a country (drop in GDP), and being stuck in a voice and SMS centred 2G business model. Operating a mostly 2G network makes an operator vulnerable to losses in international and domestic call and SMS revenues while at the same time not being able to generate more data revenues. Case studies of Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria and Ghana are used to illustrate the impact of a decline in GDP and subscriber numbers, foreign exchange and competition, the impact of regulatory interventions and a data-centric business model.
The paper argues that policy makers and regulators should be more concerned with stimulating network investment into 4G+ and less with attempting to protect operators from the impact of OTTs. The paper concludes that regulation is not suitable to protect outdated business models.
2021 Corruption Perceptions Index Southern Africa performance 2012 2021John Leonardo
Short, medium and long-term corruption trends for Southern Africa are discussed in this presentation using scores published by Transparency International in their 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) report. Southern Africa’s regional performance in terms of rate of improvement in country CPI scores was ranked third equal out of the five African regions during 2012-2021. At a country level, Southern Africa’s overall performance in terms of rate of improvement in country CPI scores was poor.

2021 Corruption Perceptions Index Central Africa performance 2012 2021John Leonardo
Short, medium and long-term corruption trends for Central Africa are discussed in this presentation using scores published by Transparency International in their 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) report. The analysis demonstrates performance at an African regional and global level during 2012-2021. Central Africa was the worst performing African region in 2012-2021 in terms of improving its efforts to address corruption even though performance improved in 2020-2021.

Conclusions and implications
• Africa has made major progress in several areas in the last two decades
• Progress on many of the indicators has either slowed or reversed in recent years.
• Africa remained below the CAADP spending and ag. growth targets
• There is a needs to
improve agricultural production and productivity through locally adapted
and appropriate policy changes, investments, and innovations
Efficient allocation of GAE through evidence-based approach
Boost intra-African ag. trade with (i) a focus on value added and processed
agricultural goods, and (ii) continued implementation of AfCFTA to boost intra-
African trade
