"CAADP, a key AU Agenda 2063 initiative, aims to eradicate hunger and poverty through agriculture-led development and transform Africa's agri-food systems," read the statement in part.
"The summit will assess progress towards the targets set and seek to adopt the Kampala Declaration, outlining a shared vision for transforming agri-food systems from 2026 to 2035. The outcomes are expected to shape agricultural policies that drive economic growth and achieve food security across the continent."
Likewise, State House indicated that the Head of State would be holding talks with President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda.
"The talks will also aim to build consensus and support for his role as Champion of AU Institutional Reforms, ahead of his inaugural progress report on the reform agenda," State House added.
This will be Ruto's second foreign visit of the year. His first travel was to Ghana where he attended the inauguration of President John Mahama.
