Leveraging Data and Analytics for Accelerated Agrifood Systems Transformation in Africa: The Role of Localized Expertise in the Kampala CAADP Era
An Extraordinary Kampala CAADP Summit is scheduled for January 9-11, 2025, in Kampala, Uganda, where the Heads of State and Government will deliberate on the draft 10-Year CAADP Strategy and Action Plan (2026-2035) and the draft Kampala CAADP Declaration, the successor framework to the Malabo Declaration. Against the foregoing context, AKADEMIYA2063, in partnership with AUC-DARBE, will be organizing a side event on the margins of the Extraordinary Summit of the AU Heads of State and Government.
Themed “Leveraging Data and Analytics for Accelerated Agrifood Systems Transformation in Africa: The Role of Localized Expertise in the Kampala CAADP Era,” the session will provide a platform for stakeholders to reflect on the recent experience of leveraging African expertise for evidence-based and impactful policy outcomes in the continent’s agricultural sector.
This side event will provide a platform to review lessons from Maputo to Kampala to take stock of the contributions of African centers of excellence and think tanks, with a closer look at the activities of the TWGs, as well as the Local Analysis Networks (LANs) deployed through the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS). In addition, the session will revisit the role of the CAADP Biennial Review (BR), with insights on the electronic BR (eBR) system and opportunities for forward-planning through the CAADP Policy Tool, which builds on the Decision Support Tool (DST).
