NEPAD and CAADP have published a guide for countries and partners assisting in the country CAADP implementatin process. The overall purpose of "Accelerating CAADP Country Implementation: A Guide for Implementors" is to strengthen the quality of CAADP implementation at the country level. This guide is designed for all those – newcomers and veterans – involved in supporting and managing the CAADP process. The authors envisage the primary users of the guide to be the core CAADP implementation support institutions, namely the African Union Commission (AUC), NEPAD, RECs and the Pillar Lead Institutions. These institutions are charged with special responsibilities for supporting countries and other institutions involved in various aspects of the agriculture sector agenda to embrace and adapt the CAADP framework in their work. An important secondary audience for the guide consists of all those directly involved in the implementation process, including CAADP country teams, political decision-makers, farmers' groups, entrepreneurs, other actors or stakeholder groups in the public and/or private sector, research and capacity strengthening institutions, and other service providers. Other readers might be interested in this guide simply to understand the 'nuts and bolts' of the CAADP process.
