WHAT DOES AGRODEP WANT TO ACHIEVE?
Why AGRODEP: African countries have experienced a remarkable
economic recovery since the start of the century Africa is simultaneously undergoing an important policy
renewal process This process fuels a growing demand for locally based,
policy-relevant research Therefore there is a need for: a mechanism that helps to mobilize a critical mass of
modeling experts within Africa’s policy research and analysis community,
broaden access to innovative research methodologies, and
facilitate partnership with the global research community.

Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) is a knowledge management platform
Strategic analysis to inform policymakers
Knowledge management systems to ensure that the strategic analysis and other relevant knowledge products are translated into public goods
Capacity strengthening through support for the country CAADP Roundtables, establishment of country SAKSS programs/nodes
Architecture of country SAKSS• A structured
network of policy-making, research and implementation partners
– made up of 3 distinct but interrelated components: Node, Network, and Oversight Body
– institutionalised within relevant country structures (ministries, planning units, research institutions, knowledge management organs, etc.)
CREATING A PATHWAY FOR TECHNOLOGY ACCESS!
Empowers partner countries to build and implement functional regulatory systems by providing:
1. Independent expertise – science and policy
2. Capacity building3. Credible information to policy
makers, stakeholders, end users and key opinion leaders for informed decision making
4. Experts are regulators from govt. and industry, scientists, lawyers and economists
Capacity Strengthening Research – Key Needs
• Capacity Needs Assessments• Institutional Capacity Reviews and Assessments • Capacity Measurements – Capacity
Development Indicators• Capacity Strengthening Methods – What works
and why?• Capacity Monitoring and Evaluation• Impact Assessment of Capacity Strengthening

Lessons Learned
Sustainability of capacity depends on leadership
Bridge the gap between theory and practice share the experiences in capacity
strengthening understand the institutional, resource and
human capital constraints Curriculum should be reviewed and revised Establish enabling environment and
institutions Continuous dialogue between the
researchers, trainers, and policymakers
IFPRI
Concluding Remarks Capacity development is a long term
continuous process Individual, institutional and policy
environment go hand in hand Training alone is not enough Knowledge management, participation,
transparency are important to make impact Strategic approach needed to capacity
development, management, utilization and maintenance
