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.
