Membership Categories

PANAP membership comprises three main categories, namely (a) ordinary members; (b) external investors and backstopping members; and (c) honorary members.

Ordinary members are African research and academic organizations that demand and use PANAP’s analytical work, namely economic policy analysis with focus on policy impact analysis, on agriculture and food security. These include policy-making bodies at continental e.g., AUC and NEPAD, regional, e.g., RECs and national level e.g., relevant ministerial departments and agencies. This category also includes the relevant technical agencies of these bodies e.g., FARA and the sub-regional organisations (SROs), and the apex body for agricultural economists.

External investors and backstopping members. These include grant making institutions and agencies that contribute financially to the work of PANAP (e.g., DG-INTPA and DG-AGRI). They also include institutions that provide technical capacity development support to the ordinary members notably JRC.

Honorary members. These are individual nominated by the steering committee based on their potential contribution to the network.

The research and academic institutions that JRC has been cooperating with since 2013 are automatically ordinary members, i.e., “Starter Ordinary Members of PANAP”.
