ReSAKSS Country eAtlas Tool Expands the Reach of Information – to the Local Level

As part of ongoing outreach events, IFPRI connected with over 200 high school and college students during the month of May, inviting them to participate in the ReSAKSS Data Challenge. ReSAKSS’ outreach to youth and the next generation of African leaders in agricultural research, technical innovation and the arts promises to stir up exciting new participation in the second edition of the ReSAKSS Data Challenge.

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.

Trade is an important avenue through which countries transform their economies and raise standards of living. For African countries, trade in agricultural products offers great potential to boost incomes for farmers, processors and other agricultural value chain actors. The 2018 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM), the first in a series of annual reports assesses long-term and emerging trends and drivers of Africa’s global, intra-Africa, and intra-regional economic community trade in agricultural products.
