• After 10 years of CAADP implementation, it became clear additional focus was needed on agriculture.
• The Malabo Declaration (2014) reaffirmed the allocation of 10% of public resources to agriculture and specifies a range of commitments (limiting PHL, increasing irrigation/mechanization).
• Guidelines taking into account the CAADP Results Framework, the Malabo Declaration have been prepared.

Role of Food Security Portal

• Provide regional- and country-level information to POs and policy makers.
• Provide a panel control of several early warning tools for farmer groups to be alerted on price and production volatility and be able to prepare and become more resilient to shocks.
• Provide relevant research and lessons learned on food security.
• Enable virtual and actual dialogues through broad network.
• Through further coordination, can provide platform to help coordinate information sharing between POs and evaluate price transmission.
• Influence policy for more effective efforts to increase food security.

Price Volatility- Impacts on Producers

• High price volatility increases expected producer losses
• High price volatility increases misallocation of resources
• Increased price volatility generates the possibility of larger net returns but only in the short term
Media Analysis
Each day, the global food- and commodity-related news articles located on the News section of the Food Security
Portal are loaded into the Food Security Media Analysis System. Then the system updates the news article database
and mines the complete corpus to generate up-to-date media daily analysis to produce valuable information that may
influence global commodity price volatility and food security.
