Further tools on which Trainings based

• Technical Notes that exhibit the benchmarking methods for evaluating country progress in terms of being ''on-track'' or ''not on track'' for a specific target of the Malabo commitment.

• BR Tool Application and Databank for data entry and generate automatically Individual Country Scorecardsthat will show if the country is “On Track” or “Not On Track”

• The final two tools were used for training ReSAKSS experts/TN for data analysis

•Have two sides:• First part shows summary scores per Theme and

performance categories

• The second part brings out the 10 key areas, 5 of which are strong performance and the rest are areas needing attention

•

• Then finally a list of key recommendations are given for the country.

Overall Country Score 4.34 On track

The 2017 Benchmark is 3.94 which is the miminum overall SCORE for a country to be on track in 2017.

- It is recommended for Country A to review its National Agriculture Investment

Plan (NAIP) in a way to deliver on each specific target of the Malabo Declaration.

- The country has to strengthen its agricultural data management system to be able

to report on missing indicators to fully report on Malabo Declaration, such as post-

harvest loss (PHL); youth involvement in agriculture; households and vulnerable

social group protected by resilience building initiatives; amongst others.

- Burkina Faso should develop and implement strategies that will increase

agricultural inputs such as the use of fertilizer to boost agriculture productivity.

BR reports at AUC/NEPAD level

• After RECs processes- reports sent by RECs to AUC
