On Day 3 in Nairobi, participants are working to answer a critical question: How can agricultural research evidence better inform CAADP planning, investment, monitoring and accountability?
The consultative discussions are helping identify capacity gaps, priority interventions and partnerships needed to strengthen agricultural research, extension and education systems across Africa.
The goal: stronger evidence, better decisions and more resilient, inclusive agrifood systems.
Convened by @ASARECA, @FAO, @CGIAR and @AU-SAFGRAD, the workshop provides an important platform for countries and partners to identify priority actions, strengthen collaboration and build stronger evidence systems to support implementation of the Kampala CAADP Strategy and Action Plan 2026–2035.

The Regional Capacity Gap Assessment Workshop (Oct 5–8) is underway in Nairobi, Kenya. Delegates including #ASTI and #CAADP national focal points alongside #NARS leaders from 15 member countries have convened to address structural gaps in human resources, data validation, institutional mandates, and inter-agency coordination.

Key Objectives:
👉Bridge the gap between national agricultural research systems and continental reporting.
👉Integrate Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education (AREE) evidence into the Kampala CAADP Monitoring and Accountability Framework to support the 2026–2035 Strategy.
👉Align research outputs directly with the 6 Kampala Strategic Objectives and 22 transformation targets.

Partnerships in action in this weeklong activity
👉ASARECA—Convening member states, fostering regional alignment, and leading joint action planning across Eastern and Central Africa.
👉FAO—Supplying technical guidance on agrifood data systems, indicator validation, and national policy dialogue.
👉CGIAR (Alliance Bioversity-CIAT)—Anchor for capacity intelligence, data analytics, and scaling mechanisms like the CapSha Accelerator.
👉AU-SAFGRAD: Structuring national evidence to feed directly into continental CAADP Biennial Review reporting and mutual accountability. #CAADP #AgrifoodSystems #ASTI #AREE #ASARECA #AgResearch #Nairobi2026!
