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.

This document discusses priorities for research to improve food security in Africa. It outlines Africa's development challenges including poverty, food insecurity, and poor soils. Opportunities include initiatives like CAADP and increasing attention to agriculture. Research priorities include improving smallholder productivity, reducing post-harvest losses, and increasing resilience to risks. There are gaps in research targeting specific geographies, commodities, and technologies. The Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) coordinates agricultural research and development across the continent as the technical arm of the African Union Commission.
eni outlined its 2012-2015 strategy to deliver sustainable growth over the decade. The strategy focuses on strengthening exploration with new discoveries fueling over 3% annual production growth. In gas and power, the strategy aims to leverage eni's competitive supply portfolio and retail expertise to grow market share during a difficult market period and capture opportunities from expected European demand recovery. The chemicals business will focus on higher value-added products. The strategy positions eni for a decade of profitable growth driven by major new projects starting up and further exploration successes.
The document discusses the need for an evolving organizational architecture for agricultural research and development (R&D) in Africa. It notes that most African countries have small research capacities and are vulnerable to funding volatility. It proposes that regional cooperation could help address issues of small size and lack of economies of scale. Key elements of the existing regional architecture include sub-regional organizations (SROs), CGIAR centers, and national agricultural research institutes (NARIs). However, fully realizing the benefits of regional research requires functioning NARIs, testing of networks, sustainable funding commitments, and differentiated capacities between larger and smaller countries.

This document discusses structural transformation in Africa from economic growth to transformation. It finds that structural change in Africa has been productivity-reducing, with labor moving from underperforming agriculture into oversized, lower-productivity services. This delayed structural transformation and was strongly linked to high poverty levels. The agricultural sector was relatively undersized compared to expectations, while the services sector was oversized. This negative diversification impacted productivity growth. Promoting successful structural transformation will require strategies to boost agricultural productivity and diversify economies through industrialization.

The 10-point agenda covers understanding and progress so far, regional context analyses for Punjab and Rajpura, key potential sectors for development, other critical components, site assessment, product mix, concept planning and zoning, project structuring options, and the way forward.
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.

The WAAPP is presented as a model for sustainable investment in agricultural research for development in West Africa. It is a large-scale, government-funded project with strong regional coordination. It addresses challenges to agricultural productivity through agricultural research, capacity building, and disseminating technologies. The WAAPP has reached over 500,000 beneficiaries and developed 65 technologies, covering 230,000 hectares with improved technologies. It promotes regional cooperation and knowledge exchange.
This document discusses several challenges facing global agriculture between now and 2050, including population growth, decreasing arable land, climate change, and declining productivity. It notes increasing demand for food will need to be met with decreasing resources. Charts show rising population and declining wheat production area. The document calls for increased productivity and profitability through improved practices, technologies, and policies to help ensure sustainable and competitive agriculture can meet future needs.
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.

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.

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 provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

9. Summary of Trends
• Labor productivity has risen much faster than land
productivity in Africa as a whole
– particularly in the northern region a trend that is
driven by Egypt
• In SSA and many other countries, land productivity
has risen much faster than labor productivity
• In the southern Africa and in Morocco both
measures have risen at about the same rate
• General slowdown in the increase in both land and
labor productivity in the 1990s than in preceding or
subsequent sub-periods.

23. Ghana Farm Analysis Results II
• Labor is the most limiting resource across
all three subsystems and all household
types
– Shadow price of labor is much larger than
that of land
• Higher yields are related to more intensive
use of labor than to input use
• Thus, technical change and greater use of
chemical inputs more likely to occur if
channeled as part of a labor-saving
technology package

25. Case Study Findings I
• Problem identification, targeting, and choice of
commodity were generally well done in both
successful and failed interventions
– most of the interventions seem to be based on
good needs assessment as well as local
knowledge
• Gender consideration and sustainability issues
were problematic and not adequately incorporated
in most of the reviewed case studies
• With sustainability, main issue was little
complementary funding to that provided by donors,
and so many of the activities were not carried on
once the projected ended

26. Unsuccessful Case Study Findings I
• Conceptualization and design phase:
– Imposed plans and top-down approaches that take no
consideration of local community beliefs, preferences
and perceptions;
– Poorly defined or unrealistic scope of operation with
no clearly defined objectives and time lines.
• Start-up phase:
– Limited coordination among stakeholders;
– Poor implementation capacity of beneficiaries
especially at the sub-national levels;
– Lack of ownership and responsibility of the
intervention by the recipient
– Delays in project start up (release of funding and
procurement of goods and services)
PARTNERSHIPS
IN SUPPORT
OF CAADP
27. Unsuccessful Case Study Findings II
• Project implementation and follow-up phase:
– Lack of financial support to maintain the program e.g.
no system to cater for the maintenance costs of
irrigation infrastructure, cannot afford money to
maintain boreholes, farmers cannot afford the high
costs of fertilizers at the end of a subsidy program;
– Farmer mistrust of programs due to past
disappointments;
– Leadership and management challenges—e.g. who
should be in-charge of what remains at the end of the
project period
– Imported technologies with little or no local
maintenance and spare parts.

29. Conclusions and Implications
• Agricultural productivity growth in Africa, and
particularly in SSA, has been impressive since the
mid-1980s
• But the performance represents a mere catching
up with the levels achieved in the early 1960s, and
there has been very little technical change
• Sustaining growth in labor productivity faces
challenge of population growth and slowdown in
land availability
• This will require policy improvements and
significant investments in agricultural R&D an other
investments that accelerate the expansion of
Africa’s technical frontier
PARTNERSHIPS
IN SUPPORT

30. • AgR&D infrastructure and capacities have eroded
over time through years of neglect, primarily from
lack of public funding for agR&D.
• Growth in spending on agR&D and number of
researchers have only recently picked up; reflects the
trends in agricultural productivity growth

• Except Kenya and South Africa, the other big agricultural economies
spent less than 0.5 percent
• The other high performers

34. What types of investment are
needed?
• Those that deliver location-specific technologies
and account for diversity of potentials in and
constraints faced by farmers
– But many small economies and limited
capacities and resources for developing
effective agR&D systems
– Regional agricultural R&D strategy can help fill
these gaps and facilitate scale economies.
– African centers of excellence initiatives are
laudable
– Need complementary polices and extension
systems that enhances and maximizes the
technology spillovers from centers to all places
