Introduction African agriculture, development and CAADP African agriculture is at a crossroads. It is widely recognised as the most important sector in the continent with the potential to lift millions out of chronic poverty, food insecurity and hunger. Yet, for decades ag- riculture has stagnated, suffering from underinvestment, poor policies and incoherent strategies. Mean- while, more than 250 million Africans remain food insecure. Governments in Africa spend less than 7% of their national budgets on agriculture despite the fact that 75% of poor people live in rural areas. Women farmers and smallholder farmers remain particularly under-supported. CAADP is a recently-ignited process dating back to 2003. It is an attempt to do something about agri- cultural productivity and growth, and aims to transform policy and practice, as to improve, coordination, knowledge and ways of working. But without the know-how, critical analysis and scrutiny of civil society groups and farmers’ organisations, CAADP may end up reinforcing existing trends and fall short of expec- tations. 01 CAADP - A toolkit for civil society, organisation, engagement and advocacy CAADP: A toolkit for civil society, organisation, engagement and advocacy
"CAADP: A Model for Development Policy and Partnership in Africa", prepared by Dr. Ousmane Badiane for the CAADP Donors and Partners Meeting, Sept. 6-9, 2009.
WHO IS THE CAADP RESULTS FRAMEWORK FOR? The CAADP Results Framework will be useful in connecting within and across levels, sectors and thematic areas. State and non- state institutions including civil society, private sector institutions and development partners will find the Results Framework to be an important tool in pursuing results-based planning and implementation. It will be an important basis for developing effective alliances and partnerships. The CAADP Results Framework is an integral part of the country CAADP implementation process, therefore, as in the country CAADP implementation process, national level players and stakeholders take central responsibility in the implementation of the CAADP Results Framework. At regional and continental level, internalisation and use of the CAADP Results Framework will be led by the Regional Economic Communities (RECs) and the NEPAD Planning and Coordination Agency (NEPAD Agency) and the African Union Commission (AUC). The Results Framework, in this regard, also provides key parameters and scope to advance collaboration and partnerships with local and international partners. ODA and FDI partnerships as well as bilateral and multilateral initiatives such as the New Alliance for Food Security, Grow Africa, GAFSP and others should align with the CAADP Results Framework. 1.3 TIME FOR BOLD DECISIONS AND ACTIONS TO DELIVER RESULTS AND IMPACT Whilst CAADP implementation over the last 10 years has brought out lessons around issues of RESULTS and IMPACT, there is growing critical demand for information on what kind of actions are required to deliver the desired results and impact. This has brought to the fore transformative issues (i.e. change in behaviour and mind-set leading to change in systemic capacity and ability). For Africa to accelerate the pace towards this transformation, CAADP stakeholders have identified some of the critical aspects in terms of: a) what to continue doing; b) what to stop doing; and c) things to start doing, as follows: a) Examples of good things that are happening and should continue to happen as identified by African stakeholders include: Africans should sustain their renewed attention to agriculture as a priority sector; increased investments into the agricultural sector; improving and sustaining an enabling environment for private sector; renewing their vigour and attention to gender equality and focus on the youth; sustaining regional efforts towards integration; developing and making use of African-owned country- led initiatives to unleash the continent’s development potential; and continuing to nurture the peer learning culture that is emerging among Africans. b) Examples of bad things that Africans should stop doing as identified by African stakeholders include: Africans should stop playing beggar in the global food system; stop selling arable land for fuel at the expense of agriculture and local people’s livelihood; stop paying lip service to agricultural investment; publi
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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
