Announcement: 17th CAADP Partnership Platform (CAADP PP) meeting to be held on Wednesday, 24th to Friday, 26th November 2021, at 11:00am GMT +3

Theme: The theme chosen for the 17^th edition of the CAADP PP is centred on “Ending hunger in Africa by 2025 through resilient food systems”. So, the theme was chosen for this annual event to take advantage of renewed momentum that has been created by the UN Food System Summit, at a moment when the continent is halfway through the Malabo Declaration timeframe. The two previous BR reporting cycles had shown that pace at which implementation of CAADP was taking on the ground was not good enough to lead to the intended goals. More specific to this year’s theme of the PP, these same reports have revealed that Africa, as a whole, is not on track towards meeting the ending hunger by 2035 commitment. Besides this worrying underperformance, the COVID-19 global pandemic has dealt the efforts by the continent a serious blow for close to two years now.

Against this backdrop, the 17^th CAADP PP will serve as an opportunity for main constituencies involved in supporting agriculture transformation on the continent to reflect on the main course of actions to bring Africa back on track towards ending hunger through resilient food system by 2025.
