Adopted in 2003 by the AU heads of state and government, the CAADP is a framework of action for agricultural transformation across Africa. It is one of the major strategies towards realization of the African Union’s Agenda 2063 – The Africa We Want. The CAADP aimed to envisage modern agriculture for increased productivity and production across the continent.

As part of the Summit, the African Union Commission (AUC) and Pan-African Farmers’ Organization (PAFO) will organize side-event on “Involving Farmers and their Organisations in the Monitoring and Evaluation of the new CAADP strategy and Action Plan for effective governance of food systems in Africa”.
