These guidelines have been prepared to support African Union Member States in preparing their agricultural transformation reports to the African Union Summit on progress made for implementing Commitments in the June 2014 AU Heads of States Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods. They had been prepared through consultative actions led by the African Union Commission (AUC) and the NEPAD Planning and Coordination Agency (NPCA), that have involved technical partners’ engagement in offering available knowledge for developing computing methods for reporting on each of the indicators that reflected commitments made in the Malabo Declaration. This version of the Guidelines has been finalized after the Experts Groups meeting held in Dakar in September 2016 for consolidating and refining parameters and computing methods of the indicators profiles.
