For more than two decades, the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme, better known as CAADP, has served as the African Union's blueprint for transforming agriculture into a driver of economic growth, food security, and job creation.

Now, with African leaders having adopted the new Kampala Declaration and a ten-year CAADP Strategy and Action Plan for 2026 to 2035, the continent is setting ambitious targets to increase agricultural output, boost intra-African trade, strengthen climate resilience, and build more sustainable food systems.

We unpacked CAADP's track record and explored what the new phase means for Africa's agricultural transformation agenda.

The Journal, with Mmatsheko Mosito is a human-interest platform that explores the stories shaping our world through a thoughtful, solutions-oriented lens.

The show brings together voices from across sectors in policy, agriculture, arts, health, youth development, and beyond to unpack issues that matter to everyday people.

With a distinct tone that is both grounded and reflective, The Journal goes beyond headlines to examine the deeper context, lived experiences, and long-term implications of today’s conversations.

It creates space for meaningful dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and perspective-building, while amplifying African voices and narratives on a global stage.

At its core, the show is about connection, connecting ideas to action, people to purpose, and audiences to a more conscious understanding of the world around them.
