Key Concepts to read the Country Scorecard

Benchmark: a standard or point of reference against which scores are compared.

2017 Benchmark: Minimum score in 2017 for a country to be able to achieve the Malabo Targets by 2025.

On-Track: when the score of a country is equal or more than the Benchmark.

Not On-Track: when the score of a country is less than the Benchmark.

Overall ProgressOverall 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 A 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.

- The Country A should develop and implement strategies that will increase

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