In the 2003 Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security, African heads of state and government resolved to urgently implement the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP)—a continent wide framework for reducing poverty, food insecurity, and hunger and revitalizing agriculture through increased investments (AU 2003). Early on, the two main CAADP targets were allocating 10 percent of national budgets to the agricultural sector and achieving a 6 percent agricultural growth rate at the national level. In 2014, African leaders reasserted their commitment to CAADP and broadened the agenda by adopting the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods. Through seven broad commitments in the Malabo Declaration, the leaders resolved to uphold CAADP principles and values, increase investment in agriculture, end hunger and halve poverty by 2025, boost intra-African agricultural trade, enhance resilience to climate variability, and strengthen mutual accountability for actions and results by conducting a continental Biennial Review (BR) of progress made in achieving the commitments (AUC 2014). ; PR ; IFPRI4; 1 Fostering Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Food Supply; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; Feed the Future Initiative; ReSAKSS ; AFR

Democratic education focuses on developing students using democratic principles and processes in the classroom. In this study, we aim to understand how self-identified democratic educators practice democratic education in public-school classrooms. Nine participants, teachers in K12 schools, were interviewed for this qualitative study. In investigating how public-school teachers implemented and sustained democratic education in their classrooms, six themes emerged—fostering relationships, empowering students, and teaching and using democratic skills, democratic educative structure, democratic teacher praxis, and obstacles.

This study identifies ways in which Africa can realize its potential to secure a supply of food for affordable and healthy diets through the sustainable use of its own resources. The focus is on investment, cooperation, and policy action. The agenda proposed here is intended to be a long-term one, but one that should be initiated in the short term with concrete actions.

Diese Studie zeigt Wege auf, wie Afrika sein Potenzial zur Sicherung der Versorgung mit Nahrungsmitteln für eine erschwingliche und gesunde Ernährung durch die nachhaltige Nutzung seiner eigenen Ressourcen ausschöpfen kann. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Investitionen, Zusammenarbeit und politischen Maßnahmen. Die hier vorgeschlagene Agenda ist langfristig angelegt, sollte aber bereits kurzfristig mit konkreten Maßnahmen eingeleitet werden.
