KAMPALA POLICY BRIEF SERIES ISSUE #7 Increasing Preparedness and Responsiveness to Food Crises
The new strategy for implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) presents a transformative agenda to build resilient, sustainable, and nutrition-sensitive agrifood systems in Africa. Brief #7 applies the Food System Crisis Observatory and Response (FS-COR) tool to Malawi, showing how El Niño-related drought led to crop failures, food price spikes, and declines in dietary quality. FS-COR provides critical insights for targeting interventions, improving resilience, and guiding nutrition-sensitive policy design.

KAMPALA POLICY BRIEF SERIES ISSUE #8 Bridging Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Pathways
The new strategy for implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) presents a transformative agenda to build resilient, sustainable, and nutrition-sensitive agrifood systems in Africa. The integration of climate adaptation and resilience into agriculture policies and programs is central to this agenda. However, many African countries continue to treat adaptation and mitigation as separate pathways, leading to inefficiencies, fragmented policies, and missed opportunities for synergy. Drawing on empirical insights from Rwanda and Nigeria, Brief #8 illustrates how climate strategies can generate mutual benefits when aligned.

KAMPALA POLICY BRIEF SERIES ISSUE #9 Addressing Data Deficiency in CAADP’s Poverty Reduction Commitment
The new strategy for implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) presents a transformative agenda to build resilient, sustainable, and nutrition-sensitive agrifood systems in Africa. Data availability is central to tracking progress towards this agenda, yet approximately 40% of the required data was missing at the continental level, with significant disparities across regions, indicators, and countries. Brief #9 examines Africa’s data reporting performance on the commitment to halve poverty under the fourth CAADP Biennial Review (BR) of the Malabo Declaration.

KAMPALA POLICY BRIEF SERIES ISSUE #10 Enhancing the Effectiveness and Impacts of Public Agricultural Expenditure under CAADP
The new strategy for implementing the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) shifts from agriculture-led growth to a broader agrifood systems approach, recognizing links between agriculture, nutrition, development, and sustainability. To support this, AKADEMIYA2063 developed the CAADP Policy Tool to enable governments to assess the effectiveness of public investments and policy mixes in achieving outcomes such as poverty reduction, climate resilience, and sustainable development. Brief #10 presents the theoretical and methodological foundations of the tool and illustrates its application in 38 African countries based on BR data.
