Non-state actors play an important role in the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) process by participating in policy dialogue and planning, implementation, reform, accountability and agenda setting. Their contributions include improving strategy and policy, ensuring inclusion of smallholders and women, advocating for priorities, and holding partners accountable. However, challenges to non-state actor participation include ensuring legitimate representation, limited awareness of CAADP, and lack of resources and government buy-in. Lessons indicate a need for grassroots outreach, coordination among civil society groups, and representation on CAADP country teams with sufficient knowledge.
This presentation comes out of the idea of uneven capacities to engage on foresight and shape research and policies agendas, so that the least developed countries, farmers’ and civil society organizations will be able to contribute with their views to shape their future.

Report Civil Society Panel 2017 - CIVIL SOCIETY PANEL ANNUAL MEETINGS 2017Jamaity
More than ever before, the leadership of the African Development Bank (AfDB) is firmly convinced that its ambitious goals-the High 5s-cannot be achieved without the active engagement, advice and participation of civil society organizations (CSOs). Indeed, the Bank recognizes that Africa’s civil society is at the heart of vibrant, dynamic and accountable societies.
Through civil society organizations citizens come together to express their concerns, offer their opinions, hold their leaders accountable and address challenges that governments alone cannot tackle. The comparative advantage of civil society organizations is undeniable; their technical and technological know-how; geographic proximity; and cultural sensitivity
are all factors that make CSOs appropriate and cost-effective partners for delivering on the High 5s.
Partnering with CSOs is particularly crucial in agriculture, where majority of Africans, especially the poor, continue to toil. The Bank’s strategy on agriculture is clear on this: “…the Strategy will execute the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) goals of contributing to elimination of extreme hunger, malnutrition, poverty, and increased prosperity-in partnership with alliances including farmers, agribusiness, and civil society…”

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Role of ns as in caadp dar, tanzania
1. Non State Actors
participation in CAADP
BUBA KHAN NSA Task Team/ActionAid Int’l
Dar, Tanzania @ a FANRPAN Multi-
Stakeholder Dialogue
3rd to the 7th of Sept. 2012
2. Presentation Layout
• Introduction
• Rational for NSA participation
• Who are the NSAs
• Role of NSA
• Progress made by NSAs
• What value do we add to CAADP
process
• Challenges faced
• Lessons Learnt
3. Introduction
Non State Actors and the CAADP process
• CAADP : Agriculture-led socio-economic
growth that will create wealth, tackle
poverty and reduce hunger
• Which requires broad and inclusive
coalitions committed to acting in concert to
improve the sector’s policies, programming
and institutions.
• CAADP recognizes that to transform African
agriculture it is imperative to build broad
and inclusive coalitions...
4. Why Non-State Actors?
• The 6th CAADP PP (April 2010) recognised
poor quality of non-state actor
participation. More inclusion of non-state
actors, especially poor and marginalised
communities, at all levels is needed.
• NSA are a large part of the implementers
of CAADP--- Without them we could have
great CAADP investment plans but there
will be weak results, accountability and
sustainability
5. Who are NSA?
• Private Sector
• Farmer Associations
• National & International NGOs
• Community based organizations
• Faith base organization
• Academic & Research Community
6. Role of the NSA
1. Policy dialogue and planning
• Improving the quality of strategy setting, policy
development and investment planning through ideas,
evidence and expertise.
• Supporting inclusive dialogue and ensuring alignment
to interests of target beneficiaries.
• the voice of sector stakeholders such as the poor,
farmers, or agribusinesses should enhance the quality
of decision-making
• Identifying and refining national priorities and growth
pathways.
• Building national buy-in, internalization and
understanding in readiness for implementation
7. Role of the NSA
2. Implementation
• Aligning human and financial
resources behind priorities
• Acting as partners for
programme design and
implementation
• Enhancing implementation
capacity
8. Role of the NSA
3. Reform
• Policy and institutional reforms and alignment
• Promoting enabling environment
• Civil society advocacy and influencing roles
• Agenda setting: change public opinion with
regard to a given issue.
• Watching: measure progress towards
commitment.
• Research: research issues, which are important to
the CSO, often linked to an advocacy function
• Networking: coordinating other CSOs that work
in a particular sector Serve as umbrella CSO
perform a coordinating and representative
function.
9. Role of the NSA
• Advocacy
• Legislative meetings (lobbying)
• Policy briefs/Memos to the government
Page 9
• Policy dialogues/stakeholder forums
including annual agriculture sector
review
• Organize recognition/awards for
pacesetters in the agriculture sector
10. Role of the NSA
4 . Accountability and M & E
• Holding CAADP partners accountable
for delivery on behalf of target
beneficiaries
• Strengthening citizenry responsibility
• Participate actively in the M&E system
by being active members of the SAKSS
Steering committees.
• This is critical for redesigning
programs/projects which are not
working.
11. Role of the NSA
5. Setting the policy agenda
• Women farmers/Gender: Women’s empowerment
is key to development and in agriculture, a
disproportionate level of the burden falls on
women. Although this is an area that CAADP
claims that it is trying to address, it has been
considered a weak spot.
• Smallholder farmers: African agriculture is based
on small scale family farms but the focus of donors
and government is often on larger farmers and
agri-business. These groups tend to be better
organized than small farmer groups and better
able to lobby at a national and supranational level.
12. Role of the NSA
• Setting the policy agenda
• Climate change: The CAADP system is
arguably not fully set up for a proactive
response to the threat of climate change.
• The Landless/Youth: The groups are not well
represented in most national contexts, let
alone the regional and sub-regional contexts.
• Nutrition: Arguably in some contexts,
nutrition has been ignored or undervalued in
the CAADP compacts and plans.
13. Recent progress
• Guidelines for boosting
participation of NSA in CAADP
processes
• CAADP NSA Coordination Task Team
formed to support country-level
NSA
• Piloting of the toolkit/guidelines
through workshops
• Organized policy Dialogue
14. What value do we add to the
CAADP process
1. Putting CAADP plans into action
2. Raising awareness and engaging private sector
3. Raising awareness and mobilizing the public from
National to community level
4. Knowledge generation and sharing best practices
5. Advocacy to governments, donors and other
stakeholders to support the CAADP process
6. Capacity development of national and regional
stakeholders
7. Increasing CAADP engagement with women &
youth
15. CHALLENGES FACE
• Ensuring constituencies have legitimate and
accountable Representation
• Availability of resources for NSA participation
• Variable capacity of actors on policy work
• Limited awareness by Non State Actors of the
CAADP process and its relevance to them
• Ensuring the accountability of State actors,
including through Parliamentarians
• Ensuring a balance of interests, especially for
women, grassroots, consumers
• Lack of government buy-in
16. Lessons learnt
• Urgent need for intensified grassroots
sensitization and awareness on CAADP
• Need to strengthen collaboration and
coordination of CSOs for a stronger voice
• Need for linking farmer organizations with
regional organizations such as ROPPA, EAFF,
PROPAC, etc
• Need for increased women participation
• Need to include climate change and gender
issues in IP
• Representation in the CAADP country team
without the knowledge those not guarantee
effective participation
17. Lessons learnt
• Lack of an organized structure weakens the
participation of NSA
• Sharing best practices from other countries aids
decision making
