The problem
As the African Union transitioned from the Malabo Declaration to the post-2025 CAADP framework, there was a critical policy window to: Ensure gender transformation was meaningfully embedded in the new agricultural results framework Support civil society engagement at high-level AU policy moments Deliver inclusive, well-coordinated events aligned to complex political and institutional processes Oxfam in Africa required expert support to manage two strategic policy engagement moments without compromising inclusivity, clarity, or policy influence.
The solution
Cause Communications Ltd. provided end-to-end strategic event coordination and communication support in close collaboration with Oxfam in Africa. Key contributions included: Supporting the design and delivery of two high-level policy events aligned to AU processes Coordinating participant engagement across diverse regional and institutional stakeholders Supporting programme development and flow to align technical content with policy objectives Ensuring inclusive, accessible, and well-managed engagement spaces that amplified gender-focused evidence The approach prioritised policy relevance, coordination efficiency, and strategic messaging, while adhering to confidentiality and institutional protocols.
The results
Successful launch of the Roadmap towards Gender Transformation within the Kampala Declaration Contribution to the CAADP Ten-Year Implementation Plan and Strategy (2026–2035) Strengthened civil society visibility and engagement within AU-level agricultural policy processes Clear positioning of gender-responsive priorities within a continental policy framework
The outcome
Gender transformation priorities were effectively elevated within one of Africa’s most significant agricultural policy instruments, now publicly available on the CAADP platform.
