CAADP in practice: Highliting the successes (2011; 703KB)
In establishing CAADP, NEPAD set it a bold goal: to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty through agriculture. To achieve this goal, CAADP addresses policy and capacity issues across the entire agricultural sector and the African continent.
CAADP is entirely African-led and African-owned and represents African leaders' collective vision for agriculture in Africa. To realise their vision, the leaders agreed to increase public investment in agriculture by a minimum of 10% of their national budgets and to raise agricultural productivity by at least 6%.
Improving the efficiency and output of agriculture is a long-term project that requires not only major improvements in seeds and livestock and the way land is managed, but also reform of attitudes, institutions and policy-making.
So far, eight African countries have exceeded the 10% target and most have made significant progress towards it. Ten countries have met the 6% target and another 19 have achieved productivity growth of between 3% and 6%.
