“Universities will have to demonstrate their relevance to the CAADP process if they are to make any contribution to wealth creation at farm level.” These were part of the remarks made by Professor Monty Jones- Executive Secretary FARA/GFAR at the closing ceremony of the Ministerial conference on higher education in Agriculture in Africa at Speke Resort Hotel, Munyonyo in Kampala – Uganda.
CAADP is an Africa owned and Africa led initiative, a programme of the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD). Overall, CAADP's goal is to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty through agriculture. To do this, African governments agreed to increase public investment in agriculture by a minimum of ten per cent of their national budgets and to raise agricultural productivity by at least six per cent. This is to be done through CAADP's strategic functions, regional and economic communities, national roundtables and four key Pillars.

Ministerial Conference on Higher Education in Agriculture in Africa- Speke Resort Hotel Munyonyo Kampala- Uganda 15- 19 November 2010 Knowledge is central to a nation’s competitiveness and its economic destiny. Over the past decade Africa as a whole, due to improved governance and better commodity prices has done well in terms of GDP growth. There is also evidence of improved factor productivity in agricultural production. However, non-Africans are evidently doing even better out of Africa’s natural resources in terms of capturing value addition, skilled employment and capital gains, even in agricultural commodities. This is an indictment of Africa’s weak science and technology capacity.
