1. Introduction
More than ever before, the leadership of the African Development Bank
(AfDB) is firmly convinced that its ambitious goals-the High 5s-cannot be
achieved without the active engagement, advice and participation of civil
society organizations (CSOs). Indeed, the Bank recognizes that Africa’s
civil society is at the heart of vibrant, dynamic and accountable societies.
Through civil society organizations citizens come together to express their
concerns, offer their opinions, hold their leaders accountable and address
challenges that governments alone cannot tackle. The comparative
advantage of civil society organizations is undeniable; their technical and
technological know-how; geographic proximity; and cultural sensitivity
are all factors that make CSOs appropriate and cost-effective partners
for delivering on the High 5s.

Partnering with CSOs is particularly crucial in agriculture, where majority

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

Consequently, the Bank has sought opportunities to deepen its

engagement with CSOs. The Bank’s Annual Meetings (AMs) have been

5
one such opportunity. Activities involving CSOs at the AMs have evolved
over time. Initially, they entailed side meetings on the margins of the main
program and later to a one-two day parallel CSO Forum. In 2017, instead
of organizing a parallel event, the Bank included a Civil Society Panel
discussion among the “High Level Knowledge Events”, significantly raising
the visibility of CSOs at the AMs and further signaling the Bank’s
commitment

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

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

1. Barriers facing African CSOs as they seek to contribute effectively to

the agriculture transformation agenda
2. Policies and strategies that the Bank, governments, the private sector
and CSOs themselves can put in place to strengthen CSO capacity
and engagement
3. The role that Indian CSOs played and continue to play in the India’s
agriculture transformation including the “white revolution” and the
lessons that all stakeholders Africa can draw on

2. Panel Members
The panel embodied diverse backgrounds, experiences, and
perspectives. It reflected the multiplicity of groups working in the
agriculture sector and the roles they play as:

• Watchdogs
• Advocates
• Service providers
• Experts
• Capacity builders
• Incubators
• Networks
• Solidarity supporters and citizen champions

Ms. Sipho Moyo, Director, Special Projects, represented the Bank. The
other members of the panel were:

1. Mr. David Wilcox, Founder & CEO, REACHSCALE

2. Ms. Dorothy Mukhebi, Deputy Director, Fellowships and Institutional
Partnerships, African Women in Agriculture Research and
Development (AWARD)
3. Mr. Kamal Khurana, Director, CEO, Federation of Indian Farmer
Producer Organizations and Aggregators (FIFA)

7
4. Ms. Lucy Muchoki, CEO, Pan African Agribusiness and
Agroindustry Consortium (PanAAN)
5. Mr. Uma Mahesvaram Mandi, Chief Mentor and Investments
Officer, INDIGRAM LABS

3. Opening Remarks
Delivering her opening remarks, Ms. Sipho Moyo, the Director of
Special Projects at the AfDB, stressed the Bank’s commitment to
engage with African civil society organizations in pursuing its agenda
for the transformation of agriculture on the continent. She noted
that governance and development are no longer the responsibility
of governments alone, and that citizens expect all stakeholders-
governments, private sector and other non-state actors to play their
roles effectively and accountably.

Citizens, she added, have expectations not just of government but

of private sector, and CSOs. Through CAADP government is
expected to be a catalyst to change and to create opportunities.
Ms. Moyo concluded her remarks by framing the core question
facing the panel: What is it that would not get done if CSOs were
not at the table?

4. Panel Discussion
The panel discussion was moderated by Ms. Julie Gichuru, a TV
anchor with the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation. She kicked off the
discussion by asking what CSOs need to strengthen their
contribution to agriculture transformation in Africa. The question
sparked discussion around the meaning of civil society and its
various formations, with some on the panel feeling uncomfortable
with their organizations being described as civil society
organizations. While no working definition agreed, a consensus
emerged that they all fit under the CSO umbrella because; 1) none
of the groups existed to make profit; 2) they all worked for the public
good; and 3) some represented the interests of their members.

The question about the role of CSOs and what they need to
strengthen their contribution to agriculture transformation in Africa
elicited animated debate. The panelists offered various answers that
converged around the following themes:

• Aggregation: CSOs have a primary role as aggregators of

individual farmers/producers and their interests. They are the link
to individual farmers/producers, especially poor small holder
farmers and owners of small and micro business (SMEs).

9
• Incubation/innovation: CSOs can serve as incubators of
innovation, combining technology and mentorship to develop
alternative scalable models (India’s farmer /producer owned
cooperatives are an example of such models).

• Capacity building and stronger governance: to enable CSOs to

act at scale they must strengthen their organizational capacity
and governance.
• Cohesion and network structures: the sector’s fragmentation
undermines its effectiveness and ability to scale models. CSOs
would be more powerful by working together, forming alliances
and networks.
• CSOs need “patient capital” that looks for returns in the long
term and values social impact.

The next question focused on what all stakeholders must do to enable

African CSOs to play their role in transforming agriculture on the
continent. It too led to a passionate debate resulting in several
suggestions with policy and operational implications for government,
private sector, CSOs, and the AfDB.

Please see Annex I for the list and biographies of the panelists.

10
Government

• Provide structural and policy support, for example, infrastructure.

In India, for example, government provides policies, infrastructure
and conditions for private sector and CSOs—e.g. non collateral
based loans-mitigating risk.
• Support climate smart agriculture, leverage knowledge and ensure
it percolates to household level so that policy can empower the
farmer/producer.
• Ensure inclusive policy processes so that the views of small holder
farmers and SMEs inform policy.
• Prioritize local entrepreneurship, even while attracting foreign direct
investment, for example, through policy interventions that
encourage foreign investors to support SMEs.

Private Sector

• Support and help to grow local SMEs, for example, by scaling up

SME initiatives.
• Help to grow the agriculture ecosystem by providing support
services.

11
Civil Society Organizations

• “Make more noise”, but the “noise” must be based on solid data
and 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 from
within.
• Find local financial support to avoid being viewed as instruments
of foreign soft power—this is not a much talked about issue but a
critical one as it undermines CSO legitimacy and makes the sector
vulnerable to those looking to shrink civic space on the continent

AfDB

• Design financing instruments that are accessible and affordable to

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

12
5. Questions and Answers
Reactions from the floor were varied, spirited and constructive. They
ranged from questions and comments on the AfDB’s accountability to
communities hurt by its projects; the shrinking space for CSOs; the role
of multinationals vis a vis local SMEs, to the need for more nuanced
analysis of the African small holder farmer and the structure of African
CSOs. Some participants, for example, SEWA the foremost labor
union of informal female workers, also shared their experience
organizing producers.

In response, the panelists each shared their last word. One summarized
the goal of agriculture transformation as “putting food on every table
and 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 sustainable
models.
3. Treat all stakeholders with due respect.

6. Closing Remarks
Before inviting Ms. Moyo to officially close the discussion, the
moderator summed up the session by emphasizing the apparent need
for deepening the dialogue between CSOs and the Bank around key
questions, e.g. who is an African farmer? What is a CSOs? She noted
the recurring theme that “we’re all in this together” and the challenge
to CSOs to engage governments in new ways that will better serve
their agenda.

13
In closing, Ms. Moyo reiterated the AfDB’s commitment to working with
CSOs as demonstrated by the inclusion of a CSO panel in the main
agenda of the Bank’s Annual Meetings this year, as well as the plan to
host an annual CSO forum in Abidjan. She encouraged CSOs to hone
their value proposition and their theory of change in order to strengthen
their position as they engage with the Bank and with their governments.

7. Conclusion and Recommendations

The first Civil Society High Level Panel demonstrated the Bank’s
continuing commitment to closer partnership with CSOs. It enabled an
open and powerful conversation between the Bank and CSOs, further
nurturing trust, a basic pillar of successful partnerships. The panel also
provided space for knowledge sharing and learning between African
and Indian CSOs as well as among organizations occupying diverse
spaces along the agriculture value chain.

It is recommended that the Bank builds on the momentum and

goodwill coming out of the discussions, as well as the consultations
held in 2016, by moving quickly to roll out its action plan for civil society
engagement.

CIVIL SOCIETY PANEL

Partnering with Civil Society for Agricultural Transformation

in Africa
May 25, 2017, Ahmedabad, Conference Center, Room
Seminar Hall 4

Civil Society is a major constituency in African development process.

Decades ago it was often viewed as in opposition to other development
stakeholders—especially governments. Today civil society groups are
increasingly involved in partnerships with governments, businesses;
and are engaged in official consultation processes at multilateral level
such as the G20 and the United Nations. Over the last few years, gains
have been made in policy advocacy at the global level exemplified by
the success in influencing the G8 agenda for Africa, the UNFCC Paris
Agreement on Climate Change and the development of global voluntary
standards for industry. International and regional institutions have now
developed formal processes for civil society engagement and
consultation and so is the African Development Bank (AfDB). The AfDB
is committed to partnering with Civil Society in delivering on its High 5
agenda.

By strengthening cooperation and partnerships with civil society, the

Bank is also working to:

• Enhance the legitimacy, transparency and equity of policy- and

decision-making, ensuring that it takes into consideration the
interests of all sectors of society and has their support;
• Give a voice to agriculture stakeholders, particularly the world's
poor and ensure that their views and opinions are taken into
account
• Increase the effectiveness of the African Development Bank
regional offices and programmes by building on civil society
experience in participatory approaches, poverty alleviation and
sustainable agriculture, as well as their capacity to act quickly and
flexibly targeting the most vulnerable groups;
• Build public support and political will on the continent to attain food
security objective through pushing the CADEP and Malabo Accord.

21
This panel will discuss the strategies for enhanced partnership between
non-state actors and multilateral development agencies such as AfDB.
Civil society organizations will be given the opportunity to reflect on
their roles as AfDB partners, and agents for change in the
implementation of the High 5s agenda. This will offer an opportunity for
the civil society to engage senior Bank management on the issues
surrounding the agriculture transformation agenda for Africa.

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

• Watchdogs – those that hold institutions/governments accountable

for their national budgetary allocations to the agricultural sector
• Advocates – those that raise awareness on social issues related to
agriculture and work on policy change that creates an enabling
environment for the agriculture value chain
• Service providers and capacity builders – those that deliver services
to the vulnerable and enhance access for the vulnerable
• Experts – those bringing unique knowledge on communities and
building collectives
• Incubators – those developing solutions that have long gestation
periods for communities and building collectives to access to
agricultural 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 Annual
Meetings for the first time in the history of the AMs is yet another strong
statement of the Bank’s increased commitment to engaging the civil
society. In addition to showcasing examples of ongoing collaborations,
demonstrating the diverse forms that engagement can take along the
Bank’s operations, the Panel provides a platform to highlight salient
issues around Bank-CSO engagement in general and, in particular,
agriculture. More specifically, the Panel will seek to:

• Highlight the role of CSOs in the success of the High 5s, particularly
agriculture (the theme of this year’s Annual Meetings)
• Surface issues surrounding the Bank’s Agriculture Transformation
agenda
• Reflect on the key challenges surrounding Bank-CSO partnership
for the agricultural transformation in Africa
• Explore strategies for enhancing Bank-CSO partnerships.
