The SOCAP program has
evolved recently in two complementary components.
On one side, ACORD
internal discussion has lead to the establishment of the pan
African program on food sovereignty that is combining research
and advocacy on food sovereignty .
As developed above, this
area is focusing on safeguarding strategic crops with regards to
issues of food aid, GMOs, trade and justice.
The issue is taken
forward in the perspective of policy at national and
international levels and ACORD is looking for building alliances
with pan African and regional civil organizations.
The program will be
located in Addis Ababa in order to built strong relationship
with AU and NEPAD
ACORD is also involved
also in a consortium of Northern organizations in an awareness
program on common agriculture policy

On the other hand, the
program is focusing on reinforcing the strategy of embedment of
people centered advocacy in areas, thematic and pan African program.
This is done through helping area programs and thematic programs to
use social exclusion analysis, and streamline programs around
focused issues with clarified policy and practice change and to
identify focused areas of advocacy relevant to their contexts and
policy framework.
This aspect has been
carried in most of area programs. It supports also areas and
thematic programs through training on policy literacy and advocacy,
in building network and presence in global Fora ( eg: Mumbai, Porto
Alegre

Thematic Programmes
Its aim is to address
crosscutting issues, which affect the Africa
continent. Thematic programmes in ACORD are
about the issues within area programmes and
those that go beyond the geographical proximity
of the area programmes. They are strategic
interventions on interrelated issues to bring
about change at different levels - from local to
global. They are research-based, link area
programmes together that scale-up and amplify
the work of area programmes , work around a
particular issue.... more
