Nigeria Reaffirms Commitment to CAADP Kampala Agenda

The Federal Government of Nigeria, alongside state governments, non-state actors, and development partners, has reaffirmed its commitment to the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Kampala Declaration for 2026–2035. This commitment was made during the Annual CAADP Community of Practice Meeting held in Maiduguri, Borno State, organized by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security.

Senator Abubakar Kyari, the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, emphasized the importance of alignment among the Federal Government, states, and development partners for achieving sustainable food security. He noted that the Kampala CAADP Declaration necessitates coordinated action, covering sustainable production, investment, food security, and governance.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has prioritized food security in the national agenda, leading to significant price reductions for essential food commodities and increased support for smallholder farmers. Nigeria has also developed a 10-Year National Agrifood System Strategy to implement the Kampala commitments effectively.
