Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System for Southern Africa (SAKSS-SA)
ReSAKSS-SA• As part of the ReSAKSS network, ReSAKSS-SA is
supporting CAADP and SADC Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP) by providing analysis and knowledge support for agricultural development, planning and policy for accelerated growth and poverty reduction
• Monitoring of agricultural sector performance as expressed in CAADP, SADC RISDP, MDG 1 targets is one of our key activities
• Aim is to provide evidence about role and importance of agriculture based on regionally shared goals; therefore build a case for increased investment in the sector

Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System for Southern Africa (SAKSS-SA)
Conclusion
• There is varying progress in agricultural sector performance, with most targets yet to be met
• Challenges still exist:– stabilizing and enhancing agricultural growth rates– increasing budget allocations to the sector and
identification of policy and investment options– Increasing agricultural productivity, especially
narrowing the yield gaps– Enhancing market access, while taking advantage of
regional integration efforts
