1/4 Speaking at #CGIARScalingWeek, @afaasinfo ED Dr. Lilian Lihasi challenged @CGIAR delegates to rethink success: "An innovation has only truly scaled when a farmer can access, afford, trust, and sustain it long after the funding ends." #FeetOnTheGround

Uganda has become the first African country to access @theGCF results-based climate finance for verified #REDD+ emission reductions. Launched with @FAOUganda, the 7-year project will reach 21,000 households across 17 districts. A major milestone for our forests and communities.

The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) remains a major framework for guiding member countries of the African Union on these continental targets outlined in the Kampala CAADP Declaration and Action Plan for 2026-2035 .
Key targets of the Kampala Declaration on the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) as highlighted by MAAIF Permanent Secretary Maj. Gen (Rtd) David Kasura-Kyomukama (@PS_MAAIF) during the CAADP Mission in Kampala
:
The Kampala CAADP Declaration provides a 10-year framework (2026–2035) for transform Africa's agrifood systems with six strategic objectives, 22 targets, and 35 intervention areas.
#CAADPKampala Targets
❇️ Increase continental agrifood output by approximately 45% by 2035.
❇️ Mobilize USD 100 billion in public and private investments for agrifood systems.
❇️ Triple intra-African agricultural trade.
❇️ Halve post-harvest losses by 2035.
The six strategic objectives of the #CAADPKampala Declaration can be summarized as follows
❇️ Intensifying sustainable production/agro-industrialization ❇️ boosting financing
❇️ ensuring nutrition security
❇️ advancing equitable livelihoods ❇️ building climate/shock resilience and
❇️ strengthening governance.
The Kampala CAADP Declaration was adopted by @_AfricanUnion member states and countries on January 11, 2025, during an Extraordinary Summit held in Kampala, Uganda. The declaration officially came into effect on January 1, 2026, replacing the 2014 Malabo Declaration.
While past frameworks focused narrowly on raw agricultural production, the #CAADPKampala Declaration shifts the continental strategy toward a holistic agrifood systems approach that connects farming directly with #nutrition, #climate resilience, and processing.
Our CEO Ms Beatrice Luzobe, had this👇 to say, during the Africa Region Closure and Dissemination Workshop of the GP-SAEP Agroecology Project, held on the sidelines of the #AFSForum2026 in Kigali, Rwanda.
@afaasinfo @UFAAS13 @infogfras
During the Africa GP-SAEP Agroecology Breakthrough Innovations Event at #AFSForum2026, speakers indicated that Africa’s challenge is not a shortage of agroecological innovation but the lack of sufficiently connected systems to scale innovation.

The pathway to ag. transformation requires coherent policy, capable & professional rural advisory services, farmer-centred practice, credible scientific evidence, sustained investment, markets& institutional partnerships.

At GP-SAEP Africa-ReCaD Wrap-up Workshop, @afaasinfo E D, Dr. Lilian Kidula Lihasi described GP-SAEP’s completion as a transition rather than an end. She called for the institutionalization and scaling of the breakthrough innovations, lessons, and experiences achieved. #AFAAS
@UFAAS13 is privileged to be part of this milestone!
Our CEO Beatrice Luzobe hands over a knowledge product from the GPSAEP project-a compilation of innovations tested and proven over the 3 years, to Drs Karen Munoko and Rosemirta Birungi of @afaasinfo .
