Briefing on CTA's key role in the ACP-EU partnership: Contributions to post-2020 discussions

Abstract

The Technical Centre for Agriculture and Rural Cooperation (CTA) has been providing invaluable services to the agricultural and rural development community in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP) for over 30 years. As an institution established under the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement, CTA works to shape the next generation of farmers and contribute to the transformation of
agriculture in the ACP by providing access to technology, fostering innovation, and sharing actionable knowledge. CTA’s refreshed 2018-2020 strategy identifies three priorities:
• facilitating youth entrepreneurship and job creation;
• increasing the productivity and profitability of agricultural value chains through digitalisation and related innovations;
• promoting climate-smart agriculture practices and policies.
