The CAADP Donors and Partners Meeting will take place in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from September 6th to 9th, 2009.

The priorities of the meeting are to deepen awareness on CAADP principles and processes among key donor and government actors, and review recent progress on CAADP at international and national levels; discuss and agree the modalities, including principles and processes, through which donor support for CAADP-aligned country plans can be mobilized and harmonized with on-going country led initiatives; consider the opportunities in the coming months for further significant progress, particularly at country level in terms of donor backing for CAADP compacts; and strategize on how upcoming high-level events can cement political backing for a serious and ambitious increase in action on food security and agricultural development, and build on international commitments already made to supporting CAADP as the African-led initiative to boost agricultural productivity. ReSAKSS will participate in the meeting during the review of CAADP progress and agricultural spending.
