To date, 43 African countries have formally joined the CAADP process. Out of these 39 have developed formal national agriculture and food security investment plans – and these have become their medium term expenditure frameworks for agriculture, thus resulting in improved agricultural planning.

At the regional level, four out of eight Regional Economic Communities (RECs) have signed regional compacts out of which three have developed complete investment plans.

As a result, on average, public agricultural expenditures have risen by more than 7 % per year across Africa since 2003, nearly doubling public agricultural expenditures since the launch of CAADP.
