The purpose of this document is to develop a framework to be used in monitoring progress towards the successful implementation of CAADP and for providing a conceptual basis for assessing the impacts and returns to CAADP investments. With the perspective of managing for impact, the main objectives are: (1) to identify a set of key indicators that are consistent with the underlying logic of CAADP to track progress in resource allocation and achieving stated targets and help answer questions related to the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of the programme; (2) to identify the data required, sources, and methods for estimating values of the indicators; and (3) to lay out a plan for implementing the framework in terms of collecting, managing and analyzing the data, reporting results of the analysis, and obtaining and incorporating feedback for further improvement of the system. This document, and the ultimate outputs of the M&E system, is thus primarily targeted to stakeholders at the national, regional and continent-wide level involved with directing or managing resources for implementing CAADP. This includes: Ministries of Finance, Agriculture, and Local Governments; Departments of Agriculture within Regional Economic Communities, AU/NEPAD, and the donor community concerned with agriculture in Africa. The document and outputs of the system will also be useful to researchers and others interested in CAADP or knowledge on monitoring and evaluating public agricultural investments in general.

This paper makes a case for gender equity in the agricultural R&D system. It reviews the evidence on exactly why it is important to pay attention to gender issues in agriculture and why it is necessary to recognize women’s distinct food-security roles throughout the entire value chain—for both food and nonfood crops, marketed and nonmarketed commodities. The authors examine whether women are factored into the work of research institutions, and whether research institutions effectively focus on women’s needs. In short, are these institutions conducting research by and for women? The paper’s conceptual framework demonstrates the need to integrate gender into setting agricultural priorities; conducting the research itself; designing, implementing, and adopting extension services; and evaluating their impacts. It concludes with recommendations regarding how to make these suggested changes.

This monograph makes a case for gender equity in the agricultural research, development, and extension (R, D, & E) system. It reviews the evidence on why it is important to pay attention to gender issues in agriculture and why it is necessary to recognize women’s distinct roles in achieving food security throughout the entire value chain—for food and nonfood crops, marketed and nonmarketed commodities. The monograph’s conceptual framework demonstrates how gender should be integrated throughout the R, D, & E system. Subsequent chapters explore gender integration into setting agricultural priorities; information needs for engendering the agricultural R, D, & E system; gender integration into conducting the research itself; designing and implementing extension services to ensure gender equity in adoption of innovations; and evaluating impacts. At the end of every chapter, a summary of findings and recommendations suggests ways forward toward the goal of engendering agricultural R, D, & E.
