Priorities for 2017 Domesticating Malabo commitments into NAIPs Biennial Review reporting and Agricultural Performance Scorecard Mobilizing private sector investment (CAP-F into NAIPs) Strengthening technical capacity for implementation (TNs) Thematic area support and frameworks Strengthening stakeholder platforms: 13th CAADP PP

1. Malabo domestication. Targeted 14 Countries by 2017 AUC-DREA, NPCA and other technical partners (AGRA, IFPRI, FAO, GIZ, AL) have begun a process of supporting AU member states to domesticate the commitments in the Malabo Declaration through the review and formulation of National Agricultural Investment Plans at country level Seven countries covered by May 2017: Malawi, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana Another seven countries will be covered before the end of August

Countries visit plans/after CAADP PP Activities Dates and involved partners Remarks Ivory Coast 13th-15 June (GIZ, FAO, AGRA, AL) Letters sent   Tanzania 27th -29th June (AGRA, AL, GIZ) Senegal 10th-12th July (AGRA, AL, GIZ) Burkina Faso 25th-27th July (AGRA, AL, GIZ) Mali 8th-10th August (AGRA, AL, GIZ) Mozambique 22-24th August (AGRA, AL, GIZ) Benin 29th-31st August (AGRA, AL, GIZ)

Expected outcomes Reviewed/Formulated National Agriculture Investment Plans (NAIP) with priority programmes in line with Malabo commitments Optimized in-country coordination and driving an inclusive implementation process Improved policy architecture and reforms to promote inclusive agriculture systems and private sector investment Presence of a multi-year comprehensive spending plan with the Ministry of Finance. Performance scorecard built out of the CAADP results framework, to ensure a focus on results and accountability

General Observations Countries are at different stages in the process of reviewing the implementing their pre-Malabo NAIPs and/or formulating new generation NAIPs The process used by countries differs – with some adopting a participatory process, whereas others use a more narrow/somewhat top-down approach Diversity/Inclusiveness of stakeholders (e.g. CSOs, smallholder farmer organizations) varies from country to country Participation of the private sector in the process also varies, however almost all the countries acknowledge the need for stronger private sector engagement in order to bring about the needed quantum and quality of investments into the sector Participation of the Country level development partners is limited

2. Biennial Review Progress Tools developed and launched: Technical Guidelines that provide the profile of each indicator and detailed computing methods. Country Performance Reporting Template which will be used by the countries to collect data required for the country report preparation based on the guidance provided in Technical Guidelines. Technical Notes that will exhibit the benchmarking methods for evaluating country progress in terms of being ''on-track'' or ''not-on-track'' for a specific target of the Malabo commitment

Expected Outcomes from the BR Process Country Level: Individual Country Reports to assess progress in achieving the goals and targets of the Malabo Declaration in the NAIPs Regional Level: Regional Reports and synthesis of country challenges that can be addressed at regional level (e.g. intra regional trade of agricultural commodities and services) through the implementation of RAIPs Continental level: Continental report and Africa Agricultural Transformation Scorecard, to aid peer review and learning, and to stimulate action by African leaders

Observation on BR Process Strong engagements of RECs and countries in the process, RECs capacity strengthened to facilitate the smooth roll out of the process and ownership, RECs are key to support AUC & NPCA to follow up country progress, Strong team of trainers support the trainings and can be used to support the country process Strong engagements from partners to support the process - IFPRI/ReSAKSS, AGRA, FAO, AfricaLead

CAP-F 3. CAP-F is expected to set the key policy reforms in motion through institutional support systems, help trigger and coordinate private investment flows, as well as provide an avenue for mutual accountability among all parties involved Country Agribusiness Partnership Framework CAP-F NAIP 1 Policy Change and creation of conducive environment 2 Coordination mechanisms 4 Dialogue and Mutual Accountability Platform (MAP) 3 Investment Mobilization: Domestic and FDI

4. Bridging Capacity Gap: Technical Networks The Seven Technical Networks based on Malabo Commitments Agricultural investment financing Food security and nutrition Agricultural research and extension Agro-industry & value chain development Markets and regional trade Resilience, risk management & NRM Knowledge management, policy analysis and accountability for results Examples of things CAADP Technical Networks do Best practice or state-of- the-art methods/tools in specific technical areas Targeted training and other capacity development support as appropriate & demanded Technical advice responding to specific queries/challenges – e.g. links to specific technologies/innovation Occasional situational analyses as needed Facilitation of continuous learning and sharing

Partnership and financing the AU Business Plan Agree on partnership and financing mechanisms and framework for engagement around the BP; Bilateral engagements on preferred support mechanism Specific project/program formulation schedule for partners ready to support Operationalize Malabo Working Group for BP coordination/synergy/policy dialogue with sub-groups on thematic areas

Conclusion AUC-NPCA-RECs have: Demonstrated the delivery capacity in the last 6 months with limited support thanks to the team work of AUC-NPCA and technical partners Developed an ambitious Business Plan to help to catalyze Malabo implementation which needs everyone support Proposed coordination mechanisms to improve harmonization, synergy and efficiency

Call for Action Support AU Malabo Business Plan by: aligning donor support to the priorities in the business and operation plans providing resources to for the 2018 priorities to maintain the momentum generated in 2017 support AU efforts in resource mobilization towards multi-year financing to create stability and dedicate energy on implementation
