The 2014 Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods expresses firm recommitment toward attainingcan agriculture revolution in Africa. This recommitment arose as a result of the progress made and lessons learnt in the implementation of earlier AU Decisions and Declarations, most notably the 2013 Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security in Africa.

The 11th CAADP Partnership Platform is going to take place in Johannesburg, South Africa on 25-27 March, 2015. 

The major significance of this study is thus, to give the already existing dynamic CGE model the ability to better treat the livestock sector by capturing its complete natural picture through coupling of the stockflow feature of the sector into the model.

Swaziland as a developing middle income country has continuously sought to create an enabling environment for the development of the agricultural sector. The country has enacted policies and strategies together with programs to facilitate the attainment of growth targets in the agricultural sector (World Bank, 2011). Consequently, this will lead to the attainment of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) targets, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and facilitate economic growth.

This study was undertaken for the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System of Southern Africa (ReSAKSSSA) with the purpose of identifying countryspecific needs for strategic agricultural policy analysis, investment planning and implementation, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and knowledge management. It also aimed to identify the capacities needed in the short, medium, and long term to strengthen SAKSS in Mozambique. Mozambiques agricultural sector is the major source of income and the base for food security for the majority of the population.

The objective of this Capacity Needs Assessment (CNA) study is to identify where and how to improve Ghanas agricultural policy analysis, investment planning, implementation, M&E, and knowledge management. To achieve this objective, researchers first needed to identify and understand countrylevel capacities, skills, and analytical tools that already exist and function effectively in addition to ones that are deficient or nonexistent. The CNA was conducted at three levels: the policy process/enabling environment level, organizational level, and individual level.

The overall goal of the capacity needs assessment was to collect qualitative and quantitative data from key institutions involved in the food and agricultural policy process that would be used to inform a capacity strengthening strategy (CSS) for Zambia to meet the strategic analysis and knowledge management needs of the country Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) process. The assessment was undertaken at three different levels: country, organizational, and individual.
