CredentialsSouthern African Agriculture Development Partnership Platform (SAADPP) Problem Statement and Requirements NBF Approach • Set up and operationalise the SAADPP as a vehicle to mobilise and support trade associations, farmer organisations, agri-businesses, agro-processors and other private sector organisations operating in Southern Africa • Build and enable the platform to address key agricultural (and related sectors) development and investment bottlenecks in the region • Build working groups, involving public and private sector companies, that focus on specific problem areas and drive initiatives to address these • Engage the public sector in policy dialogues aimed at advocating for and addressing specific private sector investment barriers in agricultural development within the region • Serve as secretariat to coordinate and drive initiatives identified as part of the platform • Roll out initiative into individual countries (Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia) • A need was identified by the NBF to engrain the private sector in dealing with the agricultural development and food insecurity challenges in Sothern Africa. • This need evolved from the belief that the private sectors holds skills, experience and financial muscle that are vital for agriculture development and food security goals of the region. • It is essential for private sector to engage with government to remove policy and non-policy constraints through focused initiatives

11. CredentialsStrategic Water Partners Network (SWPN) Problem Statement and Requirements NBF Approach • A partnership network was set up and driven by a leading group of companies including Anglo American, Coca-Cola, Eskom, Nestle, SAB and Sasol • The NBF, as a secretariat, brought these key players in the private sector together with representatives at the Ministry of Water Affairs. • The partnership builds on outcomes of an exploratory workshop held by the Water Resources Group in conjunction with the UN Global Compact CEO Water Mandate in Cape Town. • In its secretariat role, the NBF manages the partnership to ensure that the public-private relationship and dialogues resolve strategic challenges to up-scaling commercial water projects. • The secretariat was initially funded by SAB, but this responsibility is ow being taken over by the members of the network • In 2011, the NBF was approached by the South African Ministry of Water Affairs at the World Economic Forum to assist in setting up a partnership with key water sector players in the private sector. • The need for this partnership arose from the ministry’s realisation and acknowledgment of the challenges facing South Africa with regard to water demand and supply
