Abstract

Abstract This chapter explores African and global policy frameworks and strategies in order to highlight the role that the transformation of Africa's agricultural sector and tertiary agricultural education is envisaged to play in addressing developmental challenges in Africa. The main developmental agendas discussed, which anchor the transformation of African agriculture and education, are the global Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Africa-focused Agenda 2063. Agenda 2063 is supported by the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and the Continental Education Strategy for Africa, 2016-2025 (CESA), which provide clear strategies for transforming Africa's agricultural and education sectors. Supporting these policy frameworks are strategies which focus on enhancing human capital development in agriculture, as well as promoting science, technology and innovation (STI) in agriculture. These strategies and frameworks - including the Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for Africa 2024 (STISA) and the Agricultural Education and Skills Improvement Framework (AESIF) - are explored in greater depth.

在全球和非洲发展目标背景下的农业和高等教育。

本章探讨了非洲和全球的政策框架和战略，以强调非洲农业部门的转型和高等农业教育在解决非洲发展挑战中所发挥的作用。会议讨论的主要发展议程是全球《2030年可持续发展议程》和以非洲为重点的《2063年议程》，这些议程是非洲农业和教育转型的基础。《2063年议程》得到了《非洲农业综合发展计划》(CAADP)和《2016-2025年非洲大陆教育战略》(CESA)的支持，为非洲农业和教育部门的转型提供了明确的战略。支持这些政策框架的是侧重于加强农业人力资本开发以及促进农业科学、技术和创新的战略。这些战略和框架——包括《2024年非洲科学、技术和创新战略》(STISA)和《农业教育和技能改进框架》(AESIF)——得到了更深入的探讨。
