The SADC Multi-country Country Agricultural Productivity Programme (SADC MAPP) is intended to translate Pillar 4 of the Comprehensive African Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP) developed by NEPAD into a program of activities in agricultural research, technology generation, dissemination and adoption. It is designed as a comprehensive 15-year programme of change, arranged around three 5-year phases. The overall programme goal is to bring about pluralistic and strengthened agricultural technology generation and dissemination, together with strengthening linkages among agricultural institutions in the SADC region in order to accelerate smallholder productivity. The result will be market- and smallholder- responsive and accessible agricultural technologies which will create agricultural growth, reduce poverty and increase incomes especially amongst the rural poor in line with the goals of the RISDP and the Dar -es- Salaam Declaration.
