Descripción
Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region, where the sector provides livelihoods for nearly 61 percent of the region’s 284 million people (2012). In 2014, SADC member states approved the SADC Regional Agricultural Policy (RAP), which defines shared objectives and measures to guide, promote and support actions at regional and national level in the agriculture sector of the SADC member states with the aim of contributing to regional integration and the attainment of the SADC Common Agenda. The overall objective of the RAP was to contribute to sustainable agricultural growth and socioeconomic development. The SADC RAP was planned to be implemented in phases, with each phase comprising a Regional Agricultural Investment Plan (RAIP). The first-phase RAIP (2017-2022) was endorsed by the SADC Council in March 2017. The successful implementation of the RAIP included the operationalization of an Agricultural Development Fund (ADF). FAO supported the Planning and Coordination Agency of the African Union Development Agency’s New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) to develop guidelines and a digital platform with the aim of promoting instruments designed to support appropriate agricultural policies and investments in the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP).
