Resumen

Descripción

In July 2003, African leaders declared their commitment to an agriculture-led development approach via the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). This was initiated with a participatory process of evidence-based stocktaking, reviews and planning, leading to a roundtable compact of alignment to the CAADP principles and targets that are underlined by allocation of 10 percent of budget expenditures to the agricultural sector, pursuit of a six percent agricultural growth rate, and achieving the first millennium development goal of slashing 1992 incidence levels of poverty and hunger by one-half in 2015 (MDG1). As countries enter the operational stage of CAADP investment program design and execution in 2011, it is useful to look back to see what has been achieved so far and what factors have shaped any achievements. This is the goal of the report, which analyzes trends prior to and after 2003 in several agricultural and rural development indicators across different geographic and economic sub-regions regions of the continent. It serves to also establish a baseline situation in 2010 prior to implementation of the investment programs in many countries.
