==Background==
Especially in the agriculture-based economies of Africa, agriculture is the sector that can affect not only poverty reduction and food security, but can also foster economic growth and sustain the environment.<ref>[http://publications.worldbank.org/ecommerce/catalog/product-detail?product_id=6966252 World Bank: World Development Report 2008: Agriculture for Development]</ref> African countries have set up CAADP to reach these goals and a Mutual Accountability Framework (MAF) to measure the program's progress. ReSAKSS plays an important role in this monitoring system by collecting relevant data and undertaking systematic analyses.<ref>ACORD, ActionAid, Oxfam. 2011.
