According to the second Biennial Review Report of the African Union Commission titled Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme released last week, this is even more apparent in the Southern Africa Development Community region’s agriculture sector.
The seven commitments constitute the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods. The report was launched at a virtual meeting and looked at Africa’s agenda towards agricultural transformation, ensuring food and nutrition security and enhancing rural development
The meeting provided an opportunity to bring together stakeholders drawn from agricultural development community in each country to discuss the region’s performance across the respective commitment areas of the Malabo.Senior programme officer for global policy and advocacy at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Faustine Wabwire, said research shows that Africa has 60% arable land. She said even if the pandemic slowed down economic activity, the agriculture sector showed a strong resilience.
The Biennial Review Report shows that African countries are increasingly dealing with shocks resulting from climate variability, extreme weather events , migration, and other economic uncertainties that increase vulnerability. According to the report, smallholder farmers who contribute most to food production in Africa, are on the front line of suffering the impacts of climate change and other climate change related disaster risks.
