THE 11th CAADP Partnership Platform Meeting [25-26 March 2015]
1.
MEETING SCOPE AND PURPOSE
CONTEXT: Embracing the Malabo Declaration
The last three CAADP Partnership Platform (CAADP PP) Meetings (2012, 2013 and 2014) were dedicated to appreciating the
challenges and gains as well as learning from the experiences of CAADP in the first ten (10) years of CAADP. This allowed us
to identify priorities, action areas and implementation strategies for CAADP in the 2nd decade (2015-2025) and beyond. The
2014 AU Year of Agriculture and Food Security had provided unique opportunities for articulating a shared vision among all
stakeholders on the agriculture future we want, which culminated in the adoption of the Malabo Declaration on Agriculture by the
AU Heads of State and Government Summit that was held in June 2014, which gave renewed legitimacy to CAADP as Africa’s
Strategic framework for advancing agricultural growth and transformation for shared prosperity.
The Malabo Declaration on agriculture and food security provides the African vision and resolve to accelerated agricultural
transformation through collective and Member States specific actions. Among the key issues unique in the Malabo Declaration is
two factors, namely (a) the focus on delivering measureable results and impact around 7 areas of commitment - deepening the
earlier CAADP Maputo commitments, and (b) bringing focus for the need for institutional and policy change to create an enabling environment for country and regional efforts to succeed in delivering on the Malabo targets and commitments.
Against this background, the 11th CAADP Partnership Platform - the first CAADP PP after the Malabo Declaration - is designed
to help shape how the RESOLVE will be translated into action, results and impact. The PP will help build a shared understanding of country and regional needs and expectations of them for rolling out the Implementation Strategy and Road Map including
launching efforts to form technical partnerships to align with and support implementation. CAADP faces new implementation
challenges that will require evolving partnerships, including partnerships to integrate major initiatives and flagship efforts that are
now in place making contributions to the areas and targets of the Malabo Declaration. Tapping these efforts will be key to early
success in achieving results and impact. The PP will also play a key role in understanding what are the systemic, institutional
and policy changes that are being targeted to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability of development efforts.
The PP will be an important milestone in helping to shape actions to advance important commitments around cross cutting issues such as gender, inclusiveness, regional trade, entrepreneurship development and youth employment.
The 11th CAADP PP Meeting theme and sub-themes
The 11th CAADP PP meeting also recognizes and will seek to bring out, in practical implementation terms, the connections
between CAADP and its results framework, the Malabo Declaration and the Africa Union (AU) “Agenda 2063” as well as the
work on the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. The PP is designed to also directly and concretely reflect on the 2015
African Union theme - “Women Empowerment and Development, Towards Africa Agenda 2063”.
1.1
The main theme
The 11th CAADP PP is organised around the theme “Walking the Talk: Delivering on Malabo Commitments on Agriculture for
Women Empowerment and Development”. The theme reflects the tempo and ambition expressed by Member States, both Governments and non-state players, to see more ACTION, RESULTS and IMPACT. As indicated above, the PP meeting will serve
as an important platform to take stock of existing capacity and commitments as well as gaps in the continent’s capabilities to
attain the goals and targets as set in the Malabo Declaration and CAADP Results Framework.

1.2
The sub-themes
The Malabo Declaration itemizes seven (7) specific goals and targets for the 2015-2025. These include recommitment on the
10% annual public budget support to agriculture and the 6% annual agriculture productivity growth rate. Goal 1 is recommitment
to the CAADP Vision and Principles and Goal 7 is commitment to the CAADP Results Framework, both, in terms of commitment
to accountability in delivering measureable results as well as agreeing to a set of targets as continental benchmarks.
Goals 2, 3, 4 and 5 are on specific targets as indicators of the ambition and expected results including associated systems
change (transformation). The seven goals, together, reflect an aggregated set of up-front (dashboard) indicators giving an
assessment on progress, results and impact. The CAADP Results Framework presents an elaboration of the complete set of
indicators – i.e. placing the seven dashboard indicators into a broader set of desegregated continental level indicators. Within
the context of examining “THE HOW” and setting to “WALK-THE-TALK”, Goals 2, 3, 4 and 7 have been selected to frame the
11th CAADP PP sub-themes – as follows:
Sub-theme 1: Walking the Talk: Ending Hunger and Malnutrition by 2025
Sub-theme 2: Walking the Talk: Inclusive Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Women Empowerment
Sub-theme 3: Walking the Talk: Boosting Intra-African Trade
Sub-theme 4: Walking the Talk: Building Resilience and Reduce Vulnerability to Climate Change and other Risks through
Women Empowerment
Sub-theme 5: Walking the Talk: Mutual Accountability to Actions, Results and Impacts
2.
KEY GUIDING QUESTIONS
The aim of this meeting is to identify the capacity needs and partnerships required at all levels to implement the Malabo Declaration including its Implementation Strategy and Road Map.
The QUESTIONS are intended to guide, focus and stimulate the discussions in the five breakout sessions organized along the
sub- themes.
1. What result areas (in the Malabo Declaration - CAADP Results Framework) are you contributing to and how; what cover
age does your initiative now have (countries, regions, populations); what are the targets for your initiative in terms of scale
and impact and what are the major actions you are taking in 2015?
2. Does your initiative/programme directly involve interventions on women empowerment, youth employment and/or capacity
building of local institutions? In which ways
3. Does your initiative now work with civil society and/or private sector groups?; explain
4. How do you see yourself contributing to or being part of a network of technical practitioners to advance the Malabo Declara
tion?
Against these questions, the PP will generate practical information that will help in mapping out and building the technical partnerships and networks to create the capacity that is required to deliver on the Malabo Declaration.

MEETING STRUCTURE AND APPROACH
3.1
Structure and approach
To allow more time for open discussions and sharing, the PP meeting will take the form of several plenary sessions led by facilitated panel discussions and parallel break-out sessions for more detailed and spread-out discussions and sharing. Only a small
number of presentations are included.
Participating institutions, especially those involved in multi-country agriculture development initiatives and Programmes are
encouraged to bring along a brief on their work (maximum 1 page); could cover
(a) results areas in the Malabo Declaration to which your work will contribute;
(b) how is this contribution going to be made;
(c) what is the envisaged scale of the contribution – area/number of people and over what time period.
The country scope forms the primary basis for all discussions. Participatory methods will be used to stimulate dialogue and
sharing and harnessing the knowledge and experience from all delegates, and thereby collectively building the “HOW” of
CAADP implementation over the coming decade.
Participating institutions, especially those involved in multi-country agriculture development initiatives and Programmes
are encouraged to bring along a brief on their work (maximum 1 page); could cover (a) results areas in the Malabo
