| October |
| TBC | Maputo, Mozambique | High Level 5-Year CAADP Review Meeting. To review, celebrate and evaluate CAADP Progress since its inception. | The review has got a two-fold purpose:
• An evaluation of the performance of CAADP as a network in achieving its goals, and
• A forward-looking review with a view to renewing the commitment of member states and development partners to continuing and accelerating the implementation of CAADP.
A crucial part of the evaluation will be to assess the relationships between CAADP and its stakeholders. An assessment of CAADP’s performance would also need to encompass both technical and political dimensions.
A major event is being planned for October, 2008 to bring together public and private sector leaders from Africa, development partners, civil society and commercial interest groups from around the world to recognize achievements and stimulate the expansion of public-private partnerships in support of a more competitive and productive African agricultural sector, building a prosperous Africa with greater access to and participation in global economics.
