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.
