FANRPAN actively participated in the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Non-State Actors Group Side Event on the 1st of November at the 20th CAADP Partnership Platform (PP). Held under the theme “Harnessing the Power of Non-State Actors in Deepening Program Delivery and Fostering Mutual Accountability: Experiences from Various CNG Engagements in Africa.” The session reflected on over a decade of Civil Society Network Group (CNG) involvement in CAADP at national, regional, and continental levels. It also set the stage for preparing CNG members for the next decade of engagement.
The discussions focused on leveraging existing platforms and experiences to shape the future of CAADP implementation. Key topics included translating research into actionable outcomes for farmers, fostering climate resilience, and preserving traditional seed systems. Two central takeaways emerged: nutrition must remain at the core of food systems transformation, and youth inclusion is essential for sustainable agricultural development solutions.
