In a robust panel discussion with CNN’s Larry Madowo, our CEO, Mrs.
@nardosbthomas, engaged in a compelling dialogue on AUDA-NEPAD’s role within the
#G20 as part of the African Union. She highlighted transformative initiatives the agency is driving to help Africa rise, making tangible impact step by step. While progress takes time, the critical achievement is that meaningful change is underway.
She discussed the African Medicines Regulation Harmonisation Programme
#AMRH and the Skills Initiative for Africa
#SIFA, before fielding questions from the audience on industrialisation and agriculture. She emphasised the urgent need to understand our own soil composition, invest in irrigation infrastructure and comprehensive soil mapping, scrutinize the impact of imported fertilizers on soil health, and implement technical training programmes that equip young people with the knowledge to run successful agribusinesses.
Through the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme
#CAADP, AUDA-NEPAD has transformed agricultural deficiencies into opportunities. The continent now has a robust plan to drive agriculture forward, enabling Africans to grow their own food, achieve food security, and feed themselves.
