Abstract
This paper synthesizes lessons learned
from the Department for International Development-World Bank
(DFID-WB) partnership, to provide guidance on ways to
improve the allocation and efficiency of public spending for
agricultural growth and poverty reduction. It includes
lessons on how to improve data quality, the composition and
impact of spending, budget execution, and the integration of
off-budget expenditures. The paper synthesizes recurring
lessons that have emerged from the commissioned work, to
highlight key challenges that still remain to improve the
efficiency of public expenditure planning and implementation
in the agriculture sector, as well as offering options for
improvement. The paper is accompanied by a separate
document, the Agricultural Public Expenditure Reviews
(AgPER) toolkit, which is a practical guide for
practitioners tasked with carrying out AgPERs in the future.
The paper is structured around the Budget Cycle Framework
(BCF), to facilitate the identification of entry points to
improve expenditure outcomes.
