Basic Agricultural Public Expenditure Diagnostic Review (2000-2013) : Malawi

World Bank (2013-11)

Agriculture is the backbone of Malawi's economy, contributing about 30 percent to total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and accounting for about 85 percent of employment and 80 percent of foreign exchange earnings (60 percent of which come from tobacco alone), but it largely remains subsistence farming plagued by low productivity and high vulnerability. Agriculture development and food security are amongst the key priorities of the Government of Malawi (GoM) to achieve sustainable economic growth and poverty alleviation. Increased agricultural productivity, diversification and commercialization constitute a key focus area of the overarching national development framework, the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS) 2006-2011, followed by MGDS II 2011-2016. In 2010, this priority was translated into an Agricultural Sector Wide Approach (ASWAp), aligned with the CAADP pillars and ...

Basic Agricultural Public Expenditure Diagnostic Review : Ghana's Ministry of Food and Agriculture

World Bank (2013-04)

Ghana, like many other African countries, had made a commitment in 2003 to allocate at least ten percent of their national budgetary resources to develop the agricultural sector by 2008, following the adoption of the Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), with an aim towards realizing food security and poverty reduction. This Agriculture Public Expenditure Review (AgPER) for Ghana analyzes data on public spending from both government and donor sources to assess: 1) the alignment between expenditure patterns within the agricultural sector and stated policy priorities; and 2) the effectiveness of public spending by comparing spending against results. The outputs of the review include a comprehensive agricultural expenditure assessment to help provide a solid foundation for carrying out specialized studies, such as Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys (PETS), ...

World Bank (2015-03)

This Botswana Agriculture Public Expenditure Review (AgPER) is one of a series of similar studies undertaken in over a dozen countries in sub-Saharan Africa under the framework of a program coordinated by CAADP, supported by the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation and the CAADP Multi-Donor Trust Fund, and implemented by the World Bank.

It presents public expenditure on agriculture structured by various dimensions and classifiers such as institutional, recurrent versus investment and capital, by sub-function and subsector and by spending unit. It analyzes expenditure levels, patterns and trends and compares expenditure patterns with policy objectives and strategies. Finally, it draws conclusions and recommendations in areas where future decisions could benefit from a ...

Ethiopia - Agriculture and Rural Development Public Expenditure Review 1997/98–2005/06

World Bank (2008-02)

Agricultural and Rural Development (ARD) is a fundamental component of Ethiopia's economic growth and poverty reduction strategy. The agricultural development strategy under Agriculture Development Led Industrialization (ADLI) and Sustainable Development and Poverty Reduction Program (SDPRP) focused on enhancing the productive capacity of smallholder farmers, promoting crop diversification, shifting to a market based system, ensuring food security at the household level and strengthening emergency responses, building up the fragile livelihoods of pastoral communities, and increasing rural water supply coverage. The series of policies put in place in the 1990s included a more supportive macro-economic framework, liberalized markets for agricultural products, and an extension and credit-led push on seed and fertilizer. Following the drought of 2002/03, the government increased its ...

Indonesia : Agriculture Public Expenditure Review 2010

World Bank (2010)

The agriculture sector has been and will continue to be important for poverty alleviation efforts in Indonesia. Indonesia was very successful in increasing agriculture productivity during the 1970s and up to the early 1990s, but productivity stagnated during most of the 1990s, partly as a result of declining public investments. Public spending on agriculture has increased significantly in the last decade, but a large share of that spending has been allocated to subsidizing private inputs. The impact of public spending on productivity can be positive, but that depends on the composition of spending. While public goods and services will have a positive impact on growth, subsidizing private inputs is unlikely to have much of an impact. Reforms to the existing subsidies systems can be combined with continued assistance to poor farmers, while the freed up resources could be used to provide improved ...
