As part of IFPRI’s support to CAADP, the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) was established in 2006 to provide policy-relevant analysis, data, and tools necessary to support the formulation and implementation of evidence-based agricultural-sector policies and strategies, as well as to facilitate CAADP policy dialogue, peer review, benchmarking, and mutual learning processes.

This brief analyses the trends of food and input prices in the Eastern Africa region from year to year with 2007 as the base year. The brief provides information on the price changes in food and inputs at country and regional level to facilitate effective policy related decision making.

Cette 12 étude vise à identifier les domaines en vue d’améliorer la qualité et l’utilité de l’analyse des politiques agricoles, la planification de l’investissement, le suivi-évaluation et la gestion des connaissances au niveau national. Les résultats qui en découlent seront utilisés dans l’élaboration de la note conceptuelle et la mise en place du SAKSS au Togo. Le résumé est structuré en 3 parties, à savoir : analyse du processus politique ; résultats de l’évaluation des capacités ; et éléments de stratégie de renforcement des capacités.

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.

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.

The 2013 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) contributes to the emerging debate by analyzing Africas recent trade performance and future outlook at the global and regional levels, including discussions of the mechanisms of dealing with food price volatility, the scope for increasing trans-border trade, and the potential impacts of weather-related shocks and biophysical factors on intra-regional exports. The ATOR finds that Africas share of world trade of goods and services, and specifically of agricultural goods, made a turnaround and started increasing in the 2000s.
