Four series of two- to four-day technical clinics were organized by IFPRI’s West and Central Africa office (WCAO) from September 2016 to May 2017 at the IFPRI office in Dakar, Senegal. The clinics were delivered as part of the support that IFPRI and ReSAKSS provide to the African Union Commission (AUC) and the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NPCA).  

As the main platform for monitoring CAADP implementation, ReSAKSS tracks progress on over 30 core CAADP indicators through its flagship Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) and an interactive website, http://www.resakss.org. The ReSAKSS website has been completely redesigned to improve its appearance and functionality and better meet data and analytical needs of CAADP and its stakeholders.

At the African Union Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea in June 2014, Heads of State and Government adopted a remarkable set of concrete agriculture goals to be attained by 2025.

The Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods is a set of new goals showing a more targeted approach to achieve the agricultural vision for the continent which is shared prosperity and improved livelihoods.

This 2012 Africa-wide Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR), the fifth issue of the series, is only the second to examine in detail a featured topic of strategic importance to the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP). The ATORs are designed to assess country, subregional, and Africa-wide performance against CAADP and other development goals and to provide an outlook for future performance. It is hoped that the analysis will contribute to improved policymaking, dialogue, implementation, and mutual learning processes of the CAADP implementation agenda.
