1. IntroductionMore than ever before, the leadership of the African Development Bank(AfDB) is firmly convinced that its ambitious goals-the High 5s-cannot beachieved without the active engagement, advice and participation of civilsociety organizations (CSOs). Indeed, the Bank recognizes that Africa’scivil society is at the heart of vibrant, dynamic and accountable societies.Through civil society organizations citizens come together to express theirconcerns, offer their opinions, hold their leaders accountable and addresschallenges that governments alone cannot tackle. The comparativeadvantage of civil society organizations is undeniable; their technical andtechnological know-how; geographic proximity; and cultural sensitivityare all factors that make CSOs appropriate and cost-effective partnersfor delivering on the High 5s.

Partnering with CSOs is particularly crucial in agriculture, where majorityof Africans, especially the poor, continue to toil. The Bank’s strategy onagriculture is clear on this: “…the Strategy will execute theComprehensive African Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) goalsof contributing to elimination of extreme hunger, malnutrition, poverty, andincreased prosperity-in partnership with alliances including farmers,agribusiness, and civil society…”

Consequently, the Bank has sought opportunities to deepen itsengagement with CSOs. The Bank’s Annual Meetings (AMs) have been

one such opportunity. Activities involving CSOs at the AMs have evolvedover time. Initially, they entailed side meetings on the margins of the mainprogram and later to a one-two day parallel CSO Forum. In 2017, insteadof organizing a parallel event, the Bank included a Civil Society Paneldiscussion among the “High Level Knowledge Events”, significantly raisingthe visibility of CSOs at the AMs and further signaling the Bank’scommitment

The panel provided a unique platform for knowledge sharing among Africanand Indian civil society groups working in the agriculture sector and theBank. Given India’s experience in transforming its agriculture, through the“Green Revolution” and most recently the “White Revolution”, the panelalso aimed to tease out lessons from India with relevance to Africa.

The core question that the panel sought to answer was: “What would notget done if CSOs were not at the table?” Flowing from this central questionwere other issues, including:

1. Barriers facing African CSOs as they seek to contribute effectively tothe agriculture transformation agenda

2. Policies and strategies that the Bank, governments, the private sectorand CSOs themselves can put in place to strengthen CSO capacityand engagement

3. The role that Indian CSOs played and continue to play in the India’sagriculture transformation including the “white revolution” and thelessons that all stakeholders Africa can draw on

3. Opening RemarksDelivering her opening remarks, Ms. Sipho Moyo, the Director ofSpecial Projects at the AfDB, stressed the Bank’s commitment toengage with African civil society organizations in pursuing its agendafor the transformation of agriculture on the continent. She notedthat governance and development are no longer the responsibilityof governments alone, and that citizens expect all stakeholders-governments, private sector and other non-state actors to play theirroles effectively and accountably.

Citizens, she added, have expectations not just of government butof private sector, and CSOs. Through CAADP government isexpected to be a catalyst to change and to create opportunities.Ms. Moyo concluded her remarks by framing the core questionfacing the panel: What is it that would not get done if CSOs werenot at the table?

4. Panel DiscussionThe panel discussion was moderated by Ms. Julie Gichuru, a TVanchor with the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation. She kicked off thediscussion by asking what CSOs need to strengthen theircontribution to agriculture transformation in Africa. The questionsparked discussion around the meaning of civil society and itsvarious formations, with some on the panel feeling uncomfortablewith their organizations being described as civil societyorganizations. While no working definition agreed, a consensusemerged that they all fit under the CSO umbrella because; 1) noneof the groups existed to make profit; 2) they all worked for the publicgood; and 3) some represented the interests of their members.

The question about the role of CSOs and what they need tostrengthen their contribution to agriculture transformation in Africaelicited animated debate. The panelists offered various answers thatconverged around the following themes:

• Aggregation: CSOs have a primary role as aggregators ofindividual farmers/producers and their interests. They are the linkto individual farmers/producers, especially poor small holderfarmers and owners of small and micro business (SMEs).

Page 10: Mise en page 1 - African Development Bank - Building today ... · 5/25/2017  · and Indian CSOs as well as among organizations occupying diverse spaces along the agriculture value

• Incubation/innovation: CSOs can serve as incubators ofinnovation, combining technology and mentorship to developalternative scalable models (India’s farmer /producer ownedcooperatives are an example of such models).

• Capacity building and stronger governance: to enable CSOs toact at scale they must strengthen their organizational capacityand governance.

• Cohesion and network structures: the sector’s fragmentationundermines its effectiveness and ability to scale models. CSOswould be more powerful by working together, forming alliancesand networks.

• CSOs need “patient capital” that looks for returns in the longterm and values social impact.

The next question focused on what all stakeholders must do to enableAfrican CSOs to play their role in transforming agriculture on thecontinent. It too led to a passionate debate resulting in severalsuggestions with policy and operational implications for government,private sector, CSOs, and the AfDB.

Government

• Provide structural and policy support, for example, infrastructure.In India, for example, government provides policies, infrastructureand conditions for private sector and CSOs—e.g. non collateralbased loans-mitigating risk.

• Support climate smart agriculture, leverage knowledge and ensureit percolates to household level so that policy can empower thefarmer/producer.

• Ensure inclusive policy processes so that the views of small holderfarmers and SMEs inform policy.

• Prioritize local entrepreneurship, even while attracting foreign directinvestment, for example, through policy interventions thatencourage foreign investors to support SMEs.

Private Sector

• Support and help to grow local SMEs, for example, by scaling upSME initiatives.

• Help to grow the agriculture ecosystem by providing supportservices.

12

Civil Society Organizations

• “Make more noise”, but the “noise” must be based on solid dataand evidence, if not, advocacy/activism will not be credible.

• Form partnerships with academia to strengthen evidence.• Document and share experiences instead of reinventing the wheel. • Find a seat at the policy table to influence policy and action fromwithin.

• Find local financial support to avoid being viewed as instrumentsof foreign soft power—this is not a much talked about issue but acritical one as it undermines CSO legitimacy and makes the sectorvulnerable to those looking to shrink civic space on the continent

AfDB

• Design financing instruments that are accessible and affordable tosmall holder farmers and SMEs.

• Use CSOs to build capacity of SMEs.• Use its gravitas and convening power to change the perception ofCSOs as “enemies” of government.

5. Questions and Answers Reactions from the floor were varied, spirited and constructive. Theyranged from questions and comments on the AfDB’s accountability tocommunities hurt by its projects; the shrinking space for CSOs; the roleof multinationals vis a vis local SMEs, to the need for more nuancedanalysis of the African small holder farmer and the structure of AfricanCSOs. Some participants, for example, SEWA the foremost laborunion of informal female workers, also shared their experienceorganizing producers.

In response, the panelists each shared their last word. One summarizedthe goal of agriculture transformation as “putting food on every tableand money in the farmer’s pocket”. Others noted the need to: 1. Build a movement of African SMEs in agriculture.2. Focus on innovation, and innovators with scalable and sustainablemodels.

3. Treat all stakeholders with due respect.

6. Closing RemarksBefore inviting Ms. Moyo to officially close the discussion, themoderator summed up the session by emphasizing the apparent needfor deepening the dialogue between CSOs and the Bank around keyquestions, e.g. who is an African farmer? What is a CSOs? She notedthe recurring theme that “we’re all in this together” and the challengeto CSOs to engage governments in new ways that will better servetheir agenda.

In closing, Ms. Moyo reiterated the AfDB’s commitment to working withCSOs as demonstrated by the inclusion of a CSO panel in the mainagenda of the Bank’s Annual Meetings this year, as well as the plan tohost an annual CSO forum in Abidjan. She encouraged CSOs to honetheir value proposition and their theory of change in order to strengthentheir position as they engage with the Bank and with their governments.

7. Conclusion and RecommendationsThe first Civil Society High Level Panel demonstrated the Bank’scontinuing commitment to closer partnership with CSOs. It enabled anopen and powerful conversation between the Bank and CSOs, furthernurturing trust, a basic pillar of successful partnerships. The panel alsoprovided space for knowledge sharing and learning between Africanand Indian CSOs as well as among organizations occupying diversespaces along the agriculture value chain. It is recommended that the Bank builds on the momentum andgoodwill coming out of the discussions, as well as the consultationsheld in 2016, by moving quickly to roll out its action plan for civil societyengagement.

Annex 2. Concept Note and Program

CIVIL SOCIETY PANEL

Partnering with Civil Society for Agricultural Transformationin AfricaMay 25, 2017, Ahmedabad, Conference Center, RoomSeminar Hall 4

Civil Society is a major constituency in African development process.Decades ago it was often viewed as in opposition to other developmentstakeholders—especially governments. Today civil society groups areincreasingly involved in partnerships with governments, businesses;and are engaged in official consultation processes at multilateral levelsuch as the G20 and the United Nations. Over the last few years, gainshave been made in policy advocacy at the global level exemplified bythe success in influencing the G8 agenda for Africa, the UNFCC ParisAgreement on Climate Change and the development of global voluntarystandards for industry. International and regional institutions have nowdeveloped formal processes for civil society engagement andconsultation and so is the African Development Bank (AfDB). The AfDBis committed to partnering with Civil Society in delivering on its High 5agenda.

By strengthening cooperation and partnerships with civil society, theBank is also working to:

• Enhance the legitimacy, transparency and equity of policy- anddecision-making, ensuring that it takes into consideration theinterests of all sectors of society and has their support;

• Give a voice to agriculture stakeholders, particularly the world'spoor and ensure that their views and opinions are taken intoaccount

• Increase the effectiveness of the African Development Bankregional offices and programmes by building on civil societyexperience in participatory approaches, poverty alleviation andsustainable agriculture, as well as their capacity to act quickly andflexibly targeting the most vulnerable groups;

• Build public support and political will on the continent to attain foodsecurity objective through pushing the CADEP and Malabo Accord.

This panel will discuss the strategies for enhanced partnership betweennon-state actors and multilateral development agencies such as AfDB.Civil society organizations will be given the opportunity to reflect ontheir roles as AfDB partners, and agents for change in theimplementation of the High 5s agenda. This will offer an opportunity forthe civil society to engage senior Bank management on the issuessurrounding the agriculture transformation agenda for Africa.

The panel will include representatives of each of the following groups:

• Experts – those bringing unique knowledge on communities andbuilding collectives

• Incubators – those developing solutions that have long gestationperiods for communities and building collectives to access toagricultural development interventions

• Representative – those that give power the voice of marginalized(fragile states

Objectives

The inclusion of the Civil Society Panel in the main agenda of the AnnualMeetings for the first time in the history of the AMs is yet another strongstatement of the Bank’s increased commitment to engaging the civilsociety. In addition to showcasing examples of ongoing collaborations,demonstrating the diverse forms that engagement can take along theBank’s operations, the Panel provides a platform to highlight salientissues around Bank-CSO engagement in general and, in particular,agriculture.
