Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what advice and support they are providing to the African Union's Comprehensive Africa Agricultural Development Programme.

The Government is an active supporter of the African Union's Comprehensive Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP). We engage closely in the Development Partners Coordination Group and the Technical Working Group that support the CAADP agenda. UK funding for CAADP is channelled through various agricultural support programmes, including the Africa Food Trade and Resilience Programme. This UK support helps African partners to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty by supporting economic growth through agriculture-led development.
