SHOWCASING CAADP: ‘CAADP DAY’ AT THE AFRICA AGRICULTURE SCIENCE WEEK

The next CAADP Day will be held on the 21st of July 2010 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso within the context of the Africa Agriculture Science Week under the theme: ‘Post-Compact CAADP Imple-mentation: the African private sector and investments in agriculture’.

The 2010 ‘CAADP Day’ is set to be an inclusive dialogue platform bringing together African political leaders, CAADP Champions, farmers and civil society organizations, the private sector, think-tank institutions, representatives from the diaspora and the development partners. However, delibera-tions this year will reinforce discussions and support key decisions and proposals that are in sup-port of private sector engagements in CAADP.

Also, the second CAADP Journalists Network Training session will be held between the 22nd and the 23rd of July in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Besides simply engaging with each other on how to best support the work of CAADP, the media practitioners will also work to publicise the CAADP Day and the related engagements at the Agriculture Science Week.
