Policy Analysis and Advocacy Programme Strategy

The PAAP 2008-2013 strategy takes an integrated approach to tackling poverty by proposing approaches that will contribute to enhanced productivity and competitiveness along the value chain through reforming policies, regulations and procedures that impede investment in appropriate technologies, and that restrict sectoral growth and trade. Drawing up evidence-based options when formulating policy will be promoted. The result will be efficient market chains along the production-to-consumption continuum, improved links between research and development, and supportive policies and institutions. Ultimately, supportive policies and institutions will encourage investment by offering incentives that will allow judicious use of resources to enhance livelihoods while at the same time will ensure that natural resources are conserved and allowed to rejuvenate for future generations.
