Background:

The Endorsement of The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) at the 39th Ordinary Session of the African Union Assembly of Heads of States and Government as a Flagship Project of Agenda 2063 reaffirms that CAADP remains the African Union’s primary framework for transforming her agri-food system.

The CAADP Kampala Declaration, Strategy and Action Plan (2026–2035) is anchored in six (6) strategic objectives and 22 targets, designed to build sustainable, inclusive, resilient, and prosperous agri-food systems. The Strategy also outlines 48 detailed interventions, outputs, and outcomes that Member States must collectively implement.

Delivering on this agenda requires a Results Framework and a fit-for-purpose set of Biennial Review (BR) indicators that are relevant to the Kampala commitments, feasible, and aligned to national data systems, while enabling continental comparability and mutual accountability. The African Union Member States require a harmonized Results Framework and Indicator System that:

• Translates commitments into measurable results,
• Supports accountability and policy decision-making,
• Strengthens alignment between national, regional, and continental reporting, and
• Builds on the lessons and structure of the CAADP Biennial Review system

Participants:

The continental technical workshop will bring together AUC and AUDA NEPAD, technical experts of Member States, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), CAADP BR task force experts, and relevant partners and stakeholders.
