This report is part of the overall approach to agricultural development in Mozambique set in motion by the National Agricultural Investment Plan (NAIP) (referred to in Mozambique as the Plano Nacional de Investimento do Sector Agrrio, or PNISA). This process takes place within the context of the mutual accountability framework of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Plan (CAADP). This report is a preliminary step to successfully establish within the country the process of the joint sector review (JSR).

The CAADP Results Framework provides Africa and its partners with a set of goals and results to be pursued in the transformation of the agriculture sector. It gives the political and technical impetus to foster policy alignment and harmonization of interventions geared at advancing the agriculture transformation agenda. It articulates the targets to be achieved over the next ten years, and provides the set of associated indicators.

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.

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.

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.
