As part of the seventh commitment of the Malabo Declaration, African Union (AU) Member States agreed to report progress in achieving the Malabo goals and targets biennially. Thus, in recent months ReSAKSS has supported the African Union Commission (AUC) and the African Union Development Agency–New Partnership for Africa's Development (AUDA-NEPAD) in training hundreds of country experts and analysts who are currently hard at work preparing for the second Biennial Review (BR) report, to be published in January 2020.
In the 2017 BR Report, 22 performance categories and 43 indicators were defined for the seven thematic areas of performance to evaluate country performance in achieving agricultural growth and transformation goals in Africa. Of the 55-member states, 47 submitted their validated national reports to their respective Regional Economic Communities (RECs), including five EAC partner states: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. The final scorecard was prepared by the AUC and NPCA, with support from the RECs and technical partners.

Addis-Abeba, le 24 octobre 2018 : Après une longue période de stagnation et de déclin économique, les économies africaines ont connu une croissance rapide au cours des deux dernières décennies. La pauvreté et la malnutrition ont diminué de manière constante au cours de cette période. En raison de la détérioration généralisée des moyens de subsistance, une plus longue période de croissance continue sera nécessaire pour sortir les larges segments de la population de leur situation de vulnérabilité.
Addis Ababa, October 24, 2018: After a prolonged period of economic stagnation and decline, African economies have experienced rapid growth over the last two decades. Poverty and malnutrition have fallen steadily during that period. Because of broad deterioration of livelihoods, it will take a longer period of continued growth to pull large segments of the population out of vulnerability. In fact, despite falling poverty rates, the absolute number of poor and vulnerable is still rising.
This note presents summaries, experiences and lessons from the inaugural BR process focusing on the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). It highlights country and regional averages of BR scores and brings out common policy lessons for the region.
In 2003, the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government adopted the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), an agriculture-led integrated development framework to boost African Agriculture with the aim to accelerate growth and eliminate poverty and hunger in African countries. CAADP was adopted in all ECOWAS Member Countries, that all developed and implemented a National Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plan (NAFSIP).
