Welcome ! Bienvenue !

Welcome note
By establishing in 2010 the Pan African Farmers’ Organization (PAFO), the African peasant movement eventually
has become mature.

What a journey!

In the history, as small producers, we have always been consumer models from elsewhere, when it is not policies
and programmes developed for us and by others in our respective countries.

Structural adjustment policies, favouring the emergence of peasant movements nationwide enable us to express
ourselves and see our concerns considered.

Since then many things have changed. New threats have emerged and called are globalization, economic
partnership agreement. This required a real need to strengthen us. Strengthening needs but also sharing our national
and regional associations toward unfair competition to be imposed on us. Allow me not to insist on this.

In any event, we, African farmers have found the strength that we could be if and only if we join our hands. This is
how we should understand the gathering of regional African organizations that led to the birth of PAFO.

Being definitely united, but to be heard. Bringing people to understand that we are carrying innovative underpinned by
experience. Who better than we small producers could speak on our behalf or decide for us or without collecting our
opinion? How do we participate in the debate?

The answer was very clear. We need to expand our movement. On the initiative of five regional networks of farmers’
organizations (ROPPA, PROFAC , SACCAU , FAE, UMAGRI) legitimate representatives of African farmers and
national platforms farmers organizations members, we have created PAFO, with the sole motivation of defending the
interests of its small farmers. Through PAFO, we aim at making our voice to be heard; the voice of the small producer
on all issues related to agricultural affaires. Therefore, we wanted to prioritize our actions and focus on topics ranging
from investment in agriculture to climate change through agricultural research without obscuring economic policies,
networking capacity building for farmers’ and producers’ organizations, advocacy, etc….

I would to pay a tribute to Elizabeth ATANGANA, first Chairperson of the organization for the outstanding work she
has done during her tenure at the head of the PAFO. A lady at the head of a producers’ organization. A symbol that
shows, if it was needed, the place that women occupy within our platform. And it was during her tenure that important
partnerships have been established including one that binds us to the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural
Cooperation (CTA) that supports us on all matters relating to agricultural information.

I would like also to thank Djibo Bagna, previously President of this Platform,  for his excellent work during the past 2
years.

This is also the place to magnify cooperation agreements that PAFO has forged with the Regional Economic
Organizations, the European Union, North and South NGOs that have constantly been with us every necessary time.

We should not ignore the contribution of the Commission of the African Union, in a beautiful show of solidarity with
the farmers’ movement, joined the CTA to support this project of creating this web site.
The initiative to create this tool stems from the desire of the Chairpersons of PAFO Regional Networks members in
order strengthen the knowledge of their members and to inform them about their activities. Therefore, we have
decided to make available this tool to share information between them and their partners.

More than a website, this platform will be a receptacle of transmitting knowledge and know-how contained in the
different sites of our network members.

The site already contains a series of tools to inform members and to learn about the issues that will be addressed
permanently.

It will be what you make it. That is why I appeal every one of you to actively participate in its running. To do so your
contributions are expected. Certainly, it will become a dynamic tool for the voices of African farmers’ organizations to
be better heard and will relay our priorities at very high levels of decision-making on policy and resource
management.

We hope you enjoy browsing the website.

About FANRPAN:
Read more about the background and legitimacy of FANRPAN 
 A Historical Perspective (344Kb ~ 1 min)
Vision 
A food secure Africa free from hunger and poverty. 

Mission 
To promote effective Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources (FANR) policies
by:

1. Facilitating linkages and partnerships between government and civil society,

2. Building the capacity for policy analysis and policy dialogue in Africa, and
supporting demand-driven policy research and analysis.

About FANRPAN 

The origins of the Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis
Network (FANRPAN) date back to 1994, when the Ministers of Agriculture
from Eastern and Southern Africa saw the need for an independent policy input
to address chronic food insecurity and the challenges of managing natural
resources. In 1997, the Deans of the Faculties of Agriculture from eight
countries in the SADC met and agreed to set up FANRPAN in response to the
decision of the ministers. Following the drafting of a constitution with support
from USAID funding, FANRPAN was officially registered as a private
voluntary organization (PVO) in Zimbabwe in 2003. FANRPAN has maintained
its registration in Zimbabwe, although it has since moved its regional secretariat
office to Pretoria, South Africa where it operates as a fully-fledged international
office with diplomatic status. The broad objectives of FANRPAN are to:

 Promote the development of appropriate agricultural policies in order to

reduce poverty,
 Enhance food security in Africa, and
 Promote sustainable agricultural development in Africa.

Since 2005, FANRPAN has pioneered regional learning and knowledge

acquisition in agricultural and food security policy analysis and advocacy,
initially in Southern and Eastern Africa, and latterly extending its contribution
and reach to continental and global levels. Through strong collaborative and
experiential learning with its constituent stakeholders at national and regional
levels, FANRPAN has progressively developed its food and agricultural policy
engagement and action cycle which is the cornerstone of its distinctive approach
to innovation and learning for policy and capacity development at regional and
national levels.

FANRPAN’s Comparative Advantage

FANRPAN’s comparative advantage is based on its distinctive experience over

the past 10 years in SSA and the insights and capabilities developed in policy
analysis, dialogue processes and advocacy underpinned by:

 Legitimacy and convening power

 Having government as a member in the nodes and as a convener of national
policy dialogues
 Advocacy platforms at national, regional and global levels
 Full policy engagement cycle of:
1. Message/evidence generation
2. Equipping the messengers
 3. Engagement platforms
 Links between local and global actors
 The capability to capture the voice of the people on whom policy has its
ultimate impacts
 Training of journalists for responsive and appropriate media reporting
 Developing proficiency of policy advocates

NEPAD Agency
The NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency (NEPAD Agency) was established in 2010 as an outcome of the integration of
NEPAD into AU structures and processes. The NEPAD Agency is the implementing agency of the African Union that advocates
for NEPAD, facilitates and coordinates the development of NEPAD continent-wide programmes and projects, mobilises
resources and engages the global community, regional economic communities and member states in the implementation of these
programmes and projects. The NEPAD Agency replaced the NEPAD Secretariat which had coordinated the implementation of
NEPAD programmes and projects since 2001.  

The NEPAD Agency's mandate is to: 

Facilitate and coordinate the implementation of continental and regional priority programmes and projects
Mobilise resources and partners in support of the implementation of Africa's priority programmes and projects
Conduct and coordinate research and knowledge management
Monitor and evaluate the implementation of programmes
Advocate on the AU and NEPAD vision, mission and core principle/ values
The NEPAD Agency's Investment Programmes are:
Human Capital Development (Skills, Youth, Employment and Women Empowerment)

The programme works to address issues of economic and social exclusion of youth by facilitating the creation of opportunities
and employment that enable them connect with the mainstream and hence enhance their contribution in the achievement of a
prosperous continent.
Industrialisation, Science, Technology and Innovation
A key consideration of the programme is the harmonization of country and regional level industrialization policies to ensure
synergies with continental policy. Capacity enhancement in science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship together with
the establishment of an Industrial Development Index are integral components of this programme.
Regional Integration, Infrastructure (Energy, Water, ICT, Transport) and Trade

The harmonisation of regional and national policies on infrastructure, market development and trade, as well as improve regional
infrastructure in ICT, transport, water and energy, are cornerstones of this programme.
Natural Resources Governance and Food Security

The focus of the programme is to strengthen agriculture, bolster food and nutrition security, promote the blue economy, improve
environmental governance, and promote sustainable mining at the national, regional and continental level. A key aim is to
facilitate the adoption of climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.

What is CAADP?

 The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) is the most ambitious and comprehensive
agricultural reform effort ever undertaken in Africa. An initiative of the African Union (AU) and New Partnership for
Africa’s Development (NEPAD), it represents a fundamental shift toward development that is fully owned and led by
African governments. It reflects African governments’ recognition of agriculture as central for the alleviation of poverty
and hunger and hence for reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

1. The pursuit of six percent average annual growth in the agricultural sector at national level; and,
2. Allocation of ten percent of national budgets to agriculture.
 A framework rather than a roadmap, CAADP is composed of a set of key principles and targets for achieving these
aims by 2015. It is at once flexible enough to accommodate the need for approaches toward poverty and hunger
alleviation to be tailored to regional and national contexts, and broad enough to address policy and capacity issues
across the entire agricultural sector and across the entire African continent.

CAADP’s vision of agriculture as a driver of poverty and hunger alleviation is underpinned by four pillars.

You can learn more about each pillar directly from the CAADP website by clicking on the respective links.

 Pillar 1: Extending the area under sustainable land management and reliable water control systems
 Pillar 2: Improving rural infrastructure and trade-related capacities for market access
 Pillar 3: Increasing food supply and reducing hunger
 Pillar 4: Agricultural research, technology dissemination and adoption

Transforming lives and landscapes with trees

At the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) we seek to better combine

the science of discovery with the science of delivery.
Our vision is an equitable world where all people have viable livelihoods
supported by healthy and productive landscapes.

ICRAF's mission is to harness the multiple benefits trees provide for

agriculture, livelihoods, resilience and the future of our planet, from farmers’
fields through to continental scales.

We are guided by the broad development challenges pursued by

the CGIAR System. These include poverty reduction, increasing food and
nutritional security, and improved natural resource systems and
environmental services.

ICRAF’s three operating principles focus on:

 People: collaboration and partnership, learning, attracting, nurturing,

and rewarding talent
 Science:  quality science, communicating for accelerated impact, value
for money, testing development options
 Processes:  efficiency and effectiveness, accountability, subsidiarity
and empowerment

ICRAF's work also addresses many of the issues being tackled by

the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to eradicate hunger,
reduce poverty, provide affordable and clean energy, protect life on land and
combat climate change.

We receive our funding from many different partners including governments,

private foundations, international organizations, regional development banks
and the private sector. And we collaborate with a range of scientific and
development institutions.

About
The World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) is a centre of scientific excellence
possessing the world’s largest repository of agroforestry science and
information. Our vision is an equitable world where all people have viable
livelihoods supported by healthy and productive landscapes. The Centre
generates science-based knowledge about the diverse roles that trees play in
agricultural landscapes, and uses its research to advance policies and
practices, and their implementation that benefit the poor and the environment.

FARMERS FIRST
Purpose: We serve smallholder farmers. In everything we do, we place the farmer first. We

which every farm family has the knowledge and means to achieve big harvests, support healthy
families, and cultivate rich soil.

Values:

1. Humble Service: We meet farmers in their fields and we get our shoes muddy. Farmers are
our customers and we serve them with humility.
2. Hard Work: We work hard every day. We execute with world-class professionalism and
business excellence. Farmers deserve nothing less.
3. Continual Growth: We improve every season. We work with determination to meet our goals
and then stretch ourselves by raising the bar even higher.
4. Family of Leaders: We bring together the best leaders and build long-term careers. We care
for team members like family.
5. Dreaming Big: We envision serving millions of farm families. We build for scale with every
idea and solution.
6. Integrity: We do what we say, and our words match our values.

About the UFS:

The University of the Free State (UFS) is one of the oldest institutions of higher education in South Africa. It
opened its doors in 1904 on the Bloemfontein Campus with a mere six students in the Humanities. Since then, our
institution has grown to more than 34 127 students, spread across seven faculties over three campuses.
In addition to the founding campus, the university has a South Campus in Bloemfontein. This smaller campus
provides alternative access to higher education for promising students who have not obtained the required marks
in their final school examinations. Our vibrant Qwaqwa Campus in the Eastern Free State serves a rapidly-growing
number of rural students from the immediate area and surrounding provinces.

The changes taking place at the university continue to capture the imagination of people everywhere, including the
international media, and our growing base of international universities.

Inspiring excellence. Transforming lives. These objectives are the driving forces at the heart of the UFS.
Through our Human and Academic Projects, we are a university internationally recognised for human reconciliation
and compassion as well as for excellence in academic achievement.

Academic Project
One of the reasons for the broader interest in the UFS is our very public commitment to the highest academic
standards. This is at the core of our Academic Project. The UFS is a strong academic institution, marked by
distinctiveness in teaching, research, and public scholarship. The Academic Project includes rigorous academic
entrance qualifications for first-time students, elevated standards for the professoriate, the transformation of
undergraduate curricula, the recruitment of world-class professors, and the identification and promotion of next-
generation professors.

Human Project
The UFS remains conscious, however, of its responsibility to turn ideas into action, to make research count in the
lives of ordinary people, and to develop a spirit of service through scholarship among our students. Through our
Human Project, the UFS seeks to connect the teaching and research of the university to the improvement of human
lives. Our scholarship of service, through a myriad projects and initiatives, makes the vital connections between
campus and communities through the production and dissemination of knowledge. In these pursuits, the university
makes human reconciliation one of the foundations of its mission.

Evolution 
of Agbiz
Established
The organisation was established in 1946 as the Co-operative Council to represent the interests of agricultural co-operatives.

Deregulation
In 1995, after the deregulation of agriculture in South Africa, the organisation adopted the name Agricultural Co-operative
Business (ACB) to address the changing needs of agribusinesses.

Changed
In 2003 the name changed to the Agricultural Business Chamber (ABC).

Independent
The move to a fully autonomous and independent association in 2010 was an exceptional milestone for the Agricultural Business
Chamber.

Relaunched as Agbiz
At the 2012 Congress the association was relaunched as Agbiz. The slogan “The way to prosperity” describes the Agbiz brand
promise. ‘Prosperity’ is a super ordinate term for words such as flourish, thrive, progress, growth, success, affluent, promising,
improvement, advancement and wealth. ‘Prosperity’ allows for others to benefit, for example job creation, development of
advanced technology to increase productivity and investment. ‘Way’ refers to the Agbiz strategic imperative of advocating and
facilitating a favourable environment for all agribusinesses in South Africa, and even further abroad.
Agbiz Grain
Agbiz Grain, a fully-fledged and dedicated desk under Agbiz, was established in November 2014 by the twelve largest
commercial grain handling and storage companies in South Africa. The incorporation of Grain Silo Industry (GSI) enhances the
vision of expanding the client base of commercial grain storage owners, increasing membership, reducing member costs and
growth opportunities.

WineBiz desk
In a step towards enhancing collaboration with government, the South African wine and brandy industry launched the WineBiz
desk, in 2015. This strategic service operates under the auspices of the industry organisations VinPro and Salba (SA Liquor
Brandowners’ Association), from the offices of Agbiz. Its main focus is strengthening relationships with various national
government departments and related stakeholders on key issues such as water and land reform, transformation, trade facilitation
and market access, while promoting the image of the South African wine and brandy industry.
