INTRODUCTION TO CAADP

INTRODUCTION TO CAADP

Background

The CAADP provides a strategic framework, agreed upon by NEPAD African Heads of State, aimed at increasing national budget expenditure on agriculture to at least 10 percent and ensuring agriculture growth of at least 6 percent per year.

The projected income growth and wealth creation is expected to cut poverty in half by 2015.

The four pillars of the CAADP are

1. sustainable land and water management,

2. building trade and marketing infrastructure,

3. increase food and nutrition security, and

4. promote research in agriculture, extension and training for adoption and dissemination of new technologies.

CAADP IMPLEMENTATION STAGES:

1. Government buy in: explaining the CAADP process and benefits to the key decision makers in government and getting their support

2. Focal point - Appointing a CAADP focal person in the ministry of Agric

3. CAADP Launch - An official and public announcement in the country with all the stakeholders present including media

CAADP implementation continued..4 Country Team Appointed - appointing

representatives from stakeholders: private sector, civil society organisations, researchers, government officials, media, farmer organisations

5 Experts engaged – Engage experts to conduct a gap analysis

6 Draft report submitted - to stakeholders for comments

CAADP implementation continued.. Country Team discusses report final

report is prepared Stakeholder validation workshop Compact is signed Investment plan developed – that is targeted at addressing the key priority areas that will result in increased agriculture productivity

CAADP implementation continued..

13 Technical review - for reviewing the investment plan and putting figures and dollars to the plans.

14 Business meeting - private sector and development partners and other stakeholders are invited to discuss the fully costed investment plan

What is a CAADP Compact?

The National CAADP Compacts are high-level agreements between governments, regional representatives and development partners for a focused implementation of CAADP within the respective countries.

They are meant to detail programmes and projects that the various stakeholders can buy into and that address national priorities.

What compacts should do….

They are also meant to define actions,

commitments, partnerships and alliances and guide:

(i) country policy and Investment responses;

(ii)planning of Development assistance; and

(iii)Public private partnerships and business to business alliances to raise & sustain the necessary investments

Specific roles of research

Sustainable water sources for agriculture development, human life, economy and ecosystems

Pollution, over-exploitation of natural resources, damage to the aquatic ecosystems, climate and global change, and water security

Advanced water technologies, powerful management tools, monitoring, automation and control systems - integrated water management framework.

Specific roles of research continued.. Climate change - dramatically

increasing the risk of flood damage to both agriculture and property

Define a common research agenda and implementation plan.

Removal of barriers to innovation - that slow down take-up of new technologies.

A shared vision on water research that is capable of producing a step-change in the water system towards sustainable solutions

Roles of research in CAADP

Conservation, agricultural water use and irrigation, and land policy and administration

Technology development, access and dissemination, innovation systems platforms, and building research capacity and training

aquaculture – as it relates to natural resource use issues (physical and/or socio-cultural factors)

7% of Africa’s arable land is irrigated, 10% South America, 29% East and 41% South-east Asia

Roles of research continued.. Improvement of national research and

extension systems reliable water control systems – especially

small-scale water To improve management of water resources

while expanding access to irrigation. control systems – will not only provide

farmers with opportunities to raise output on a sustainable basis, but will also contribute to the reliability of food supplies.

Roles of research continued…

Improved management of river basin water resources

Enhancement of strategic public infrastructure for water control, thereby creating investment opportunities for the private sector in irrigation

Improvements in small-scale water management, including rainfall-harvesting and drip irrigation

CAADP focal persons

In most countries, the process has been coordinated by ministries responsible for agriculture and livestock. The CAADP focal persons have played key roles in driving the national CAADP processes, especially as far as linking the technical teams to the RECs and other relevant stakeholders.

GHANA IRRIGATION AND WATER MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT PLANS:

Irrigated agriculture would be made viable by backward linkages to infrastructure, inputs and research and forward linkages to agro-processing and marketing.

Targets:i. Irrigation schemes productivity increased

by 25% and intensification by 50% by 2012ii. 150 micro and 25 small scale irrigation schemes as well as agricultural water management schemes developed to

benefit 50,000 households in all regions of the country by 2015.

Ghana investment plans continued..

iii. Private sector facilitated to establish mechanisation service centres (for production and processing) in specific areas where rain water harvest is major source of water for farming (e.g. Fumbisi, Katanga, Nasia, Nabogu and Soo valleys)iv. Production and value of output of existing l

large scale irrigation schemes increased by 30% to 50% respectively by 2015

Ghana investments plans continued..

v. Feasibility studies for large scale irrigation

projects in Accra Plains, Afram Plains and northern savannah irrigation areas completed by 2010 and funds for implementation sourced by 2012

ETHIOPIA – GAP ANALYIS

Ministry of Water Resources , BoARD and regional Bureaux of Water Resources are responsible for irrigation water development

Demarcation of responsibilities for construction of small, medium and large irrigation schemes is well defined, the responsibility for operation and maintenance, including the role of water user associations is less certain.

Given the prominence of irrigation in Ethiopia’s IPs, there is a need to strengthen planning and design of irrigation schemes, including community participation and environment impact assessment, and to strengthen irrigation extension services and water user associations.

Production increases – Investments to improve utilisation of land & water resources

Ethiopia still has large areas of arable land that are not used for crop production, but could be developed for large scale commercial farming in the mid-altitude and lowland areas.

This form of extensive agriculture is rather capital intensive and will require substantial private sector participation, including possibly foreign direct investment.

Most of the incremental production from the smallholder sub-sector is expected to come from yield improvements, whilst in the commercial sector area, expansion will be the main source of growth

Irrigation development is key to sustainable commercial agriculture production

Irrigation development - high priority for boosting agricultural production

combination of commercial development and smallholder schemes. Irrigation development costs range from USD 5,000 to 20,000 per hectare

Outcomes Milestone Indicators 8% annual increase of arable land irrigated. Water conservation and water use efficiency improved 5% annual increase of total precipitation conserved. 5% annual increase in crop yield per unit of water used.

Opportunities for participation in CAADP

Align research to address priority areas & be involved

Development a data base of all water researchers / projects in the country

Drive the sustainable water development agenda

Participate in the development of water rights/ policies that are conducive to development

Develop tools that are cost effective and practical

Be fashionable – research must be demand driven
