ABSTRACT

The third (2021) BR report and the associated Africa Agriculture Transformation Scorecard were launched at the 35th African Union (AU) Summit in February 2022. This brief draws on that report to summarize the performance of member states from the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region in pursuit of the seven Malabo Declaration commitments and assesses the challenges faced and the lessons learned by the region.

The brief also reviews policy and programmatic changes in the IGAD region induced by the inaugural BR of 2017 (AUC 2018), the second BR of 2019 (AUC 2020), and the most recent BR. The final section of the brief highlights several policy measures and actions IGAD member states must take for the region to meet the Malabo Declaration commitments by 2025.
