YOUR ANSWER ••••••.

■》The National Agriculture Policy (NAP) defines the vision for development of the agricultural sector in Malawi over the next five years. By 2020, agriculture in Malawi will increasingly be oriented towards profitable commercial farming through specialization of smallholder farm production, output diversification at the national level, and value addition in downstream value chains.
● The NAP will guide the design of agricultural subsector policies, strategies, and other actions of the Government of Malawi over the next five years. This will ensure sustainable agricultural production, increased mechanisation, increased area under irrigation, increased agroprocessing and value addition, enhanced risk management, strengthened marketing systems, accelerated export growth, and improved food security and nutrition.

■》this policy links to the broader development goals and vision for Malawi as stated in the country’s Vision 2020 document and the second Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS II).

☆》It is also in line with other sub-sectoral and cross-sectoral policies and strategic documents of the government of Malawi, such as the National Export Strategy (2012) the Agricultural Extension Policy (2000) the National Nutrition Policy and Strategic Plan (2007) the National Gender Policy 2015 the National Youth Policy (2013), the National Land Use Planning and Management Policy 2005 and the National Climate Change Policy 2012 among others.

□Within the agriculture sector, the NAP is linked to the Agriculture Sector Wide Approach (ASWAP) investment plan and all sub-sectoral policies.
