Abstract

ReSAKSS tracks CAADP indicators using an interactive website (www.resakss.org) and a flagship Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR). Each year, the ATOR features a topic of strategic importance to the CAADP agenda. The 2019 ATOR will discuss progress and research evidence on gender equality, a cross-cutting theme in the Malabo Declaration. Applying a gender lens to various issues among rural populations will facilitate women’s social, political, and economic participation in agricultural development and provide additional evidence needed to advance gender equality. Therefore, the 2019 ATOR will take an in-depth look at gender in Africa by examining the intersections between gender and i) context and institutions, ii) natural resource management and vulnerability to climate shocks, iii) assets, and iv) livelihoods. The report will be launched during the 2019 ReSAKSS Annual Conference on 11-13 November in Lomé, Togo.

Objectives

• Present Africa’s performance using the CAADP Results Framework indicators

• Discuss preliminary findings of the 2019 ATOR: Gender Equality in Rural Africa: From Commitments to Outcomes

• Demonstrate ReSAKSS online knowledge platforms for tracking CAADP progress: the e-Biennial Review (eBR) and NAIP Tracking Tool.
