1. Developing and Implementing new CAADP National Agriculture Investment Plans (NAIPs) By Erick Sile, Mark Kofi Fynn, Tarquin Meszaros (CAADP Support Programme), Heike Hoeffler (Sector Project Agricultural Trade and Value Chains

2. CAADP? Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme
Set of goals to transform African agriculture
Policy framework for agricultural transformation
Maputo 2003
Malabo 2014

3. NAIP? National Agriculture Investment Plan
Translation of CAADP goals into a plan
10% public investment
6% growth

4. Country Support Missions
AUC-DREA, NPCA and other technical partners, notably AGRA, IFPRI, FAO, GIZ etc 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
Countries covered so far: Malawi, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana
Other countries are in line for this support this year: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Mali, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania

5. Why Country Support Missions?
Malabo Declaration is wider than Maputo Declaration
Focus still on agriculture, but not all within MoA mandate
Need for coordination across sub-sectors and ministries
Increased focus on results and performance management
Need for NAIP alignment in country systems and processes
Alignment to sector development plans/ strategies
Leveraging of public investment by private sector

6. The Country Process

7. General Observations
Countries are at different stages in the process of reviewing the implementation of their pre-Malabo NAIPs and/or formulating new generation NAIPs
The process used by countries differ – with some adopting a participatory process, whereas others use a more narrow/somewhat top-down approach
Diversity/Inclusivity of stakeholders (e.g. CSOs, Smallholder 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 RECs is limited

8. Delivered support at Country level
Inclusive discussion and review of CAADP Progress, challenges and lessons
Revived discussions on Agriculture Transformation
Advocacy of Malabo commitments and the transformation agenda associated
Forward looking agenda for Agriculture transformation through thematic discussions aligned to Malabo
Roadmap towards NAIP formulation/Refresh (Thematic and analytical studies, Consultation processes, formulation, independent review, validation and launching).

9. Outcomes of the process
Reviewed/Formulated National Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plans (NAFSIP) and identified priority programmes in line with Malabo commitments
Optimized in-country coordination and driving an inclusive implementation process at country level
Advanced policy architecture and reforms needed to develop an inclusive agriculture systems and private sector investment
Presence of a multi-year comprehensive spending plan with the Ministry of Finance.
Alignment on a performance scorecard built out of the CAADP results framework, to ensure a focus on results and accountability

10. Required support by Countries
Support for analytical and thematic studies (Technical Partners)
Support for the formulation of the new generation NAIPs (Technical Partners)
Support for independent technical review (AUC-NPCA, Technical Partners)
Support for actual implementation of the Plans once ready (Technical Partners, Technical Networks)
Follow up and technical back-stopping (AUC/NPCA/RECs)

11. Involvement of GIZ bilateral and regional agricultural programmes
Support for analytical studies and mainstreaming of key themes into the new NAIPs
Learning from GIZ experience in facilitating Public – Private sector dialogues / increased engagment of private sector (and other partners/stakeholders)
Improved alignment of GIZ projects and programmes with country priorities
Improved coordination with other projects/partners
Successful future implementation of NAIP in the context of other relevant agricultural-related programmes
