A Country Agribusiness Partnership (CAP) Framework is a tool to support a country’s flagship agribusiness partnerships. It funds effective coordination. It generates a roster of cross-sector commitments for investment and policy change. It facilitates learning and mutual accountability for partners.

The CAP Framework concept was developed by AUC, NEPAD and Grow Africa to build on the successes and challenges of the Country Cooperation Agreements established under the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition and is anchored within the national and continental architecture of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP).

This implementation guide is therefore for governments and their partners seeking to establish a CAP Framework, and thereby effectively support the emergence of vibrant agribusiness partnerships aligned to national sectoral priorities.
