Libreville, Gabon — 2026-07-11: The Gabonese Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Rural Development held a strategic retreat in Libreville on July 11, 2026, aiming to enhance governance and accelerate reforms in the agricultural sector.
The two — day event, led by Minister Pacôme Kossy, brought together cabinet members, directors general, provincial leaders, and other ministry entities. Officials commented on the matter.
The retreat aimed to foster a culture of performance based on accountability, public action efficacy, and measurable results. Participants reviewed the achievements of the first half of 2026, including the mobilization of 7,575 billion FCFA in private investments through strategic agreements, the operationalization of the Emergency Plan for the Poultry Sector (POUFA), and the reinforcement of local producer support.
The retreat also marked the finalization of the 2026-2030 Agrofood Systems Transformation Plan (PTSA).
The retreat’s objectives included validating strategic orientations for the next four years, adopting the PTSA 2026-2030, establishing a Management Performance Pact, and setting up a dashboard for regular results tracking.
The outcomes are expected to bolster the sector’s performance and contribute to Gabon’s economic diversification.
The strategic retreat is a part of the government’s broader initiative to modernize the public sector, including the implementation of a retirement policy for public servants at the legal age limit. This policy aims to create space for younger generations and potentially increase efficiency in the civil service. Despite concerns about the abrupt retirement of experienced officials potentially causing a knowledge gap, the retreat is viewed as a positive step towards improving agricultural governance and efficiency.
The government’s focus on modernization and attracting younger talent is seen as critical for Gabon’s economic growth and sustainable agricultural development.
