AGRODEP Modeling Consortium and the Post-Malabo Agenda Development Process

In July 2014, African Heads of State and Government adopted the Malabo Declaration on Accelerated Agricultural Growth and Transformation for Shared Prosperity and Improved Livelihoods. They spelt out a set of seven commitments against which to track the continent's performance in its collective efforts to transform agriculture sustainably. At the end of this year, the lifecycle of the vision encapsulated in the Malabo Declaration will elapse. Therefore, there is a need to develop a renewed vision to guide transformational actions to fix the agri-food systems for the next ten years ahead.

AGRODEP SÉRIE DE DOCUMENTS DE TRAVAIL : Genre, développement agricole et réformes commerciales au Niger

Les documents de travail du consortium AGRODEP présentent le matériel préliminaire et les résultats de recherche développés par les membres du réseau de modélisateurs économiques AGRODEP. Dans le document de travail N°1 intitulé « Genre, développement agricole et réformes commerciales au Niger » l’auteur utilise un modèle dynamique d’équilibre général calculable dans lequel les travailleurs sont différenciés selon le genre pour analyser l’impact du ZLECA au Niger. Les résultats montrent que la réduction des tarifs douaniers augmenterait les disparités de genre parmi les ménages non qualifiés, ce qui pourrait remettre en question les efforts pour atteindre les ODD.

As it was our first gathering as the AGRODEP family since the global pandemic struck, this year's meeting meant different things to people who were a part of it. To see the excitement from you to come, once again together, to Kigali and be part of the conference alone was probably the best illustration of the feeling that you had been missing these special moments.
