2. OUTLINE
I. Background
I. Selected LAN efforts
II. Objectives of this session

3. Background
• Implementing CAADP needs evidence
• But scientific evidence often lacking or limited
• Technical expertise is limited and yet even for that,
• There are no systematic and sustainable ways for conveying evidence
for policy making
• Often international collaborators play a role
• A Local analysis network integrated with a country SAKSS can be
useful
• LAN allows the matching of demand and supply of evidence as
pertaining to CAADP implementation

4. SAKSS is a network of people and institutions that provides timely,
credible, and evidence-based knowledge and analysis to support the
design, implementation and monitoring agricultural and rural
development(ARD) strategies in Africa under the CAADP agenda.
Knowledge support system:
A network that serves the evidence
needs of strategy formulation and
implementation.
What is a SAKSS?
The individuals are linked through
collaborative research (strategic
analysis), capacity strengthening,
and dialogue.

6. Examples of Local Analytical Networks in progress (I)
• Ghana - local analytical network has two parts:
 a network of stakeholders to generate demand driven topics to support CAADP
implementation and
 a network of researchers to conduct research on the topics.
 Since 2009,it has conducted several studies, in response to demand from
government
• Mozambique: Mozambique Local Analysis Network

7. • Kenya - Agriculture Policy Analysis Group is the Local Analysis
Network in the Agriculture Sector
• kesakss.kilimo.go.ke
• Uganda – Uganda Policy Analysis Network is the Local Analysis
Network for the agriculture Sector
• http://www.usakss.agriculture.go.ug
• Rwanda – completed an assessment of the existing networks and is
working with stakeholders to set up the LAN.

Examples of Local Analytical Networks in progress (II)

8. • Tanzania - Policy Analysis Group
 The LANs in all these countries have participated in
 NAIP review and formulation processes;
 Compilation of country CAADP indicators;
 Provide support to country BR processes as well as JSR
processes (in Uganda, Rwanda, Mozambique)
 Also strong teams coordinated by the SAKSS node and
covering the analysis for JSR and BR exist in Benin,
Burkina Faso, Mali, Senegal and Togo.
