Abstract
The National Sustainable Agriculture Development Plan (NSADP) is a multi-sectoral instrument with the aim to provide short, medium and long-term Investment programmes in the agriculture sector. The overall objective is to ensure economic growth and increased revenues to households, firms and the state so that basic services (health, education, etc.) will be provided to the population. The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) is annexed to the document. The NSADP/CAADP identify four major investment sub-programmes: 1) The Commodity Commercialization Sub-Programme targeting rice, cassava, livestock, export crops (oil palm, cocoa, coffee, cashew), fisheries and forest products; 2) The Agriculture Infrastructure Development Sub-Programme; 3) The Private Sector Promotion Sub-Programme; 4) The Sector Coordination and Management Sub-Programme.
The NSADP promotes economic growth through agriculturally-led development in order to eliminate hunger, reduce poverty, food and nutrition insecurity.
The instrument seeks to make agriculture, forestry and fisheries more productive and sustainable.
It also aims at reducing poverty, especially in rural areas.
Furthermore, the NSADP seeks to enable more inclusive and efficient agricultural and food systems. The overall objective of the CAADP is to increase the agriculture sector’s contribution to the national economy. This will be achieved through productivity increases through commercialization and private sector participation. The programme will facilitate and strengthen the productive capacities of small and medium scale farmers, provide an enabling environment to promote large scale farming and development of agribusiness, and facilitate access to markets and value addition for the selected commodities. The selected commodities are: rice, cassava, oil palm, cocoa, fisheries and non-timber forest products (firewood, charcoal, rattan, raffia). As mentioned above, specific sub-programmes are formulated as regards commodity commercialization, agriculture infrastructure development, as well as private sector promotion. The objective of the infrastructure development component is to develop appropriate infrastructure of public goods in nature to support commodity commercialization. Infrastructures of most immediate need are: roads, irrigation facilities, markets, processing, packaging and storage facilities.
Sub-Programme 4 concerns Sector Coordination and Management. The objective of this component is to develop appropriate capacities for the management of the programme as well as governance structures. In addition, the Multi-Partners Commodity Groups under the Presidential Task Force on Agriculture comprises members from Government, Non-Government, Private Sector, Farmers, University and Development Partners.
