CAADP is Africa’s policy framework for agriculture and agriculture-led development. It is an integral part of the NEPAD. It is within the NEPAD context, that CAADP is able to link and align with development objectives in other sectors, thereby providing for comprehensive and harmonised de¬velopment policies, strategies and programmes. In CAADP, Africa believes that agriculture and the food industry can be the engine for growth in Africa’s largely agrarian economies, with tangible and sustainable impact on improving food security and nutrition, contributing to wealth and job creation, empowering women and enabling the expansion of exports.
