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

11. 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

12. 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

13. 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
