CAADP - Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme

The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) is Africa’s policy framework for agricultural transformation, wealth creation, food security and nutrition, economic growth and prosperity for all. In Maputo, Mozambique in 2003, the African Union (AU) Summit made the first declaration on CAADP as an integral part of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).

The principles and values that inform the implementation of CAADP include: African ownership and leadership; accountability and transparency; inclusiveness; evidence-based planning and decision making and harnessing regional complementarities.

In addition, the sets of principles and values important to CAADP include: People-centredness; private sector driven development; systemic capacity; and subsidiarity, and: peer learning and multi-sectorialism.
