Comprehensive Africa Afgriculture Development Programme (CAAD)Dr Lendy Spires
African Ministers of Agriculture met at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy on 9th June 2002 under the auspices of the FAO Regional Conference for Africa. The purpose of their special follow-up session was to review an earlier draft of this document – the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) - prepared by FAO in co-operation with the NEPAD Steering Committee.
Extracts from the report of their meeting are produced as Annex 1. It can be seen that the Conference welcomed and endorsed the CAADP and agreed on the need to quickly operationalise it; it offered guidance to member governments on a wide range of aspects of operationalisation and action to revitalise African agriculture. What follows is the full CAADP document after some adjustment to reflect some comments received on the version presented to the Ministers, including their desire to see research included as a pillar for action. Clearly, a programme on agriculture must remain open to continuing improvement and also be open to interpretation for each of Africa’s sub-regions in order to best address that continent’s diversity.
This document therefore offers a broad frame of priorities from which more precise strategies and programmes can be derived for operationalisation. Africa is a rural continent and agriculture is extremely important to it. For the region as a whole, the agricultural sector accounts for about 60 percent of the total labour force, 20 percent of total merchandise exports and 17 percent of GDP. The latest figures (for 1997-99) show that some 200 million people – or 28 percent of Africa’s population – are chronically hungry, compared to 173 million in 1990-92. While the proportion of the population facing hunger is dropping slightly, the absolute numbers are rising inexorably. During the 1990’s, declines in the number of hungry people have been registered in only 10 countries.
At the end of the 1990’s, 30 countries reported that over 20 percent of their population was undernourished and in 18 of these, over 35 percent of the population was chronically hungry. As of 2001, about 28 million people in Africa were facing food emergencies due to droughts, floods and strife, of which some 25 million needed emergency food and agricultural assistance. To reflect its particularly difficult situation, the World Food Programme - which accounts for two-fifths of international food aid - has spent US$12.5 billion (45 percent of its total investment since its establishment) in Africa and 50 percent of its investment in 2001. Food aid indicates considerable external dependency: in 2000 Africa received 2.8 million tons of food aid, which is over a quarter of the world total. In line with the rise in the number of hungry, there has been a progressive growth in food imports in the

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

1. “The Accidental Ecowas & AU Citizen”:
The AU as a Project in 'Human Endeavour and
Continental Cooperation'
By E.K.Bensah Jr
It will be three years this October since Ghana joined the AU/NEPAD-sponsored Comprehensive Africa
Agriculture Development Program (CAADP), and 2013 will be exactly a decade since CAADP – but one
probably would not know it. I even wonder whether people know there is a dedicated website detailing
almost everything one needs to know about NEPAD on http://www.nepad-caadp.net/ . If we even
forget the fact that the recent address by Ghana's president made no mention of Ghana's CAADP
compact and its progress thus far, what we must, in my view, remember is how a country that places
premium on an annual Farmer's Day ought to take cognisance of a continental compact that would
radicalise the country's food security prospects.
CAADP was endorsed in Maputo in 2003. According to CAADP's website, CAADP's overall-goal is to
“eliminate hunger and reduce poverty through agriculture”. To achieve this, African governments have
agreed to increase public investment in agriculture by a minimum of 10 per cent of their national
budgets and “to raise agricultural productivity by at least 6 per cent.” This is to be done
through CAADP's strategic functions, regional and economic communities, national roundtables and four
key Pillars.
So far, 29 AU member states have signed the compact, and more than 20 countries have developed
CAADP-based Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plans (AFSIPs). CAADP has since created space
for participation of all relevant stakeholders—from within and outside the state, as well as to grassroots
level. Truth be told, CAADP has significantly raised the profile of the agricultural sector in national
domestic politics and the attention to agriculture has increased remarkably.
CAADP has further facilitated what the UNECA and AU consider to be “a noticeable improvement and
progress towards donor coordination, harmonisation and alignment to country priorities.” These
remarks come from a preparatory input report to an upcoming AU Conference of Ministers of Economy
and Finance (CAMEF) and ECA Conference of African Ministers of Finance, Planning and Economic
Development, which is to be held in the diplomatic capital of Africa—Addis Ababa—from 22-25 March
2012.
1
2. The report offers an overview of CAADP and its implementation, noting that “implementation of country
plans for results and impact has now put CAADP on the spot to demonstrate that the good policy
environment provided can be translated into clear results, impact with clear growth, food security and
increased incomes.” While AU citizens can rejoice that there is a continental approach to addressing
food security, member states are not quite out of the woods yet, for as CAMEF/ECA Ministers prepare to
meet, they will be asking important questions on the survival and sustainability of the CAADP compact.
Some of the questions they will be asking include how CAADP can become “more effective in leveraging
private sector investments” and the extent to which “vertical integration between country programs
and regional programs [such as ECOWAS' ECOWAS Agricultural Policy (ECOWAP)] be strengthened?”
Critical to the development of the CAADP compact are concerns, which include climate change and its
variability; increasing global food and energy prices; large-scale land and water acquisition; and
democratisation and decentralisation processes in Africa. Now, the reason why Ministers of Finance are
being targeted for discussions on the compact is because they play key roles in “facilitating faster and
better implementation of National Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plans.” Small wonder, one
might speculate, that outgoing Chairperson of the AU, Jean Ping, would state in the “report of the
chairperson on the activities of the commission covering...July to December 2011” that “CAADP is a
source of pride for the Union, given that an increasing number of Member states have taken steps to
implement the Programme pursuant to the commitments made at the Maputo Summit in 2003.”
If you're a journalist reading this, that diplomatic-speak is code for you to begin to hold your Minister of
Agriculture accountable for oversight of the continental compact gaining increasing popularity on the
continent for delivering food security; as well as your rather-powerful Finance Minister on whether they
have factored the agreed-10% towards the CAADP compact.
Update of the continental free trade architecture
It will be recalled that in earlier pieces in December, I spent the better part of the month trying to shed
light on the workings of the continental free trade architecture (CFTA). The CFTA, the brainchild of the
AU, is a comprehensive Action Plan for boosting intra-African trade in the short, medium and long-term
and, more significantly, on the establishment of the Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) by 2017, in
accordance with the road map presented at the 18 th AU Summit held in January 2012.
There's no gainsaying the ambitious nature of the architecture is a source of concern for both observers
and the policymakers of the AU who proposed them in the first place. This concern has found expression
in an Executive Council report at the AU's January summit, which focused on the “Permanent
Representatives Committee sub-committee on Economic and Trade matters”.
Between July and December 2011, the PRC Sub-committee held two meetings—one on 11 November
2
3. and the other on 9 December, 2011.
The objective of the November meeting was to brainstorm on preparations for the January summit on
the theme “Boosting Intra-African Trade”. Following a presentation by the AU Commission of the main
documents—namely: the Issues paper on “Boosting Intra-Africa Trade”; the “Action Plan for Boosting
Intra-Africa Trade and the Draft Framework, roadmap and architecture for Fast-tracking the continental
free trade area (CFTA)—the Sub-committee raised critical issues.
First, there was a need to ensure that the PRC be involved in all processes and consultations leading to
the summit; second, it should be the AU Commission that plays the role of Overseer for the continental
integration process. The report states that the SADC-COMESA-EAC tripartite FTA is not an initiative of
the AU, so going forward, “the AU should conduct a review of the progress made in the implementation
of the Abuja Treaty.” Third, there is the need “to commission studies to establish reasons why there is
little trade among particular regions.” Fourth, instead of the proposed African Trade and Integration
Council (considered “an unnecessary bureaucracy”), there is the need to “pool together synergies in
Economic Affairs and Trade.” Finally, there is a query as to whether the Abuja Treaty of 1991, and which
has been in operation since 1994, can be revised?
Proposals to strengthen the documents included “a need to address standards and quality assurance
infrastructure in African countries in the Action Plan”; a need to show in the document expected
percentage increase in the volume of intra-African trade and the time by which the increase could be
achieved; the necessity to replace the African Trade and Integration Council (ATIC) with a High-Level
African Trade Committee (HATC), with a detailed terms of reference (TOR) for the HATC.
Other proposals include: the need to develop or strengthen the capacity of African countries to “collect
accurate statistics on intra-African trade”; the need to “cost” the action plan with realistic monetary
values indicating the costs of implementing the Action Plan. Finally, and more importantly, there is a
recommendation for Trade Experts in the capitals of the Member States to add value to the documents
with their expertise.
The objective of the 9 December meeting was to take stock of the outcome of the Accra Trade Ministers
meeting and chart the way forward.
Some of the recommendations include: upgrading national and regional infrastructure in order to
facilitate intra-African trade; improving information on business opportunities on the continent; and the
necessity for the Commission of the AU to take leadership on developing modalities for the
implementation of the CFTA.
Simply put, the Commission of the AU has a lot of work to do. It's a recondite fact that it is understaffed, but it has clearly done a lot of good work for the continent. I continue to make the point that
3
4. the AU's struggle to communicate what it does continues to remain a bane of its work. Those quick to
deride the AU as a “toothless” organisation may only be right insofar as they have read reports on the
AU's own website on its progress in furtherance of African Unity. To continue to castigate without
investigating the vertiginous and herculean task ahead of the AU in ensuring continental unity by 2034 is
frankly no longer acceptable.
Whatever people may think of outgoing chairperson Jean Ping, he is right in stating that the African
Union “has developed and adopted, more than any other regional integration organisation, an
impressive number of instruments and strategic plans in all sectors of human endeavour and continental
cooperation”, which he describes as “a tremendous achievement that could serve as a bedrock
of...shared values.”
