A two-hour presentation and panel discussion on the implementation of the NEPAD Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) will be held on 28 May 2008 during the 4th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICADIV) in Yokohama, Japan, to provide key stakeholders with the latest information on this important African initiative.
Ambassador Olukorede Willoughby, acting CEO of NEPAD, will introduce NEPAD and CAADP as an Africa-led initiative and framework to rationalise and revitalise African agriculture for economic growth and lasting poverty reduction.
The panelists will include key leaders in the agriculture sector from various institutions and development agencies including the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), World Bank, the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA), NEPAD, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development.
The participants will discuss the progress of CAADP implementation from their different perspectives and will identify emerging opportunities as well as potential solutions to the challenges facing Africa within the framework of the CAADP.
TICAD IV is taking place from 28-30 May 2008 with the theme “Towards a vibrant Africa: continent of hope and opportunities”.
