CAADP Implementation
• At the country level, the implementation process aims at:-
   – Aligning national agricultural sector policies, strategies and investment
      programs with CAADP principles, pillars and targets.

• At the regional level, RECs plays a coordination role
• Progress of implementation is varied among countries;
   – Some have made good progress while others lag behind
   – Countries in the COMESA region that had developed detailed investment
      plans include Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Malawi, Kenya, and Burundi

Implementing M&E
• Establishment and operation of M&E systems is critical in the
  implementation of CAADP compacts and Investment plans.
• Why M&E?
   –   To quantify progress in performance of the agricultural sector.
   –   To monitor delivery on commitments.
   –   Assess effectiveness of the various types of interventions.
   –   Assess consistency with initial targets.
• M&E systems established at various levels :
   – National level; embedded in national M&E systems;
   – Regional and continental levels; CAADP M&E Framework
   – Mutual Accountability Framework (MAF) at the national and
     international

Agriculture Sector Performance (1)
• The countries that met the CAADP target included;
   – Rwanda (8.4%), Ethiopia (7.7%), Tanzania (7.3%) and Malawi (6.5%).

• However, high growth rates in agricultural GDP have not
  invariably translated to reduction in poverty and hunger.
   – In some countries there is marginal or no reduction in poverty despite
     high growth in agricultural GDP.

   – Need for targeting investments subsectors or in geographical regions with
     potential for high impact on poverty

Agricultural Productivity Trends




                                   22
Productivity:- definitions

• Agricultural productivity measures can be ; partial or total.

• Total factor productivity (TFP); compares an index of agricultural
  inputs to an index of outputs.

• Partial productivity; amount of output per unit of a particular
  input (e.g. land, labour etc)

• TFP more appropriate but less often used due to paucity of data
  on prices key inputs



                                                                    23
Crop productivity
• Maize is the key staple in most countries in the region.

• Maize yields in the majority of countries in the COMESA
  region are very low;
   – Mostly less than 2 tones/ha compared to a world average of 5
      tones/ha

• Yield decline has occurred in several countries in the region
  over the past decade




                                                                    24

Fertilizer Use
• Average fertilizer use COMESA region is only about 30 Kg/ha.
• Lower than 50kg/ha target set during the African Fertilizer
  Summit.
• Low use underlay the low productivity.
• Low levels of fertilizer use are attributed to; high costs, poor
  transport infrastructure, unavailability in some remote areas
  among others




                                                                28

Productivity in Livestock Sector
• Livestock production is a key activity in the region particularly
  in the arid and semi arid zones.
• Most countries recorded productivity gain between 2000 and
  2009 but some recorded decline
• At the regional level, some productivity gains have been
  recorded in beef productivity

Agricultural trade performance
• Agricultural trade accounts for about a third of the
  total intra-COMESA trade
• Regional trade in food staples has implications on
  regional food security
• Agricultural trade is constrained by
   – Tariff & non-tariff barriers
• Accurate data is key for monitoring progress
  especially on informal trade

Poverty trends
• Africa as a whole has experienced a moderate decline in the
  rate of poverty since 1990

• From 47.0 percent in 1990–95 to 46.5 percent in 1995–2003
  and 44.3 percent in 2003–09.

• The COMESA region experienced similar declining trend, with
  different levels of intensities across countries.

Concluding remarks (1)
• Process of CAADP implementation is ongoing well in most
  countries but some challenges still remain…
   – Slow implementation in many countries
   – M&E systems need more capacity, better coordination & harmonization
   – Huge budget deficits in most investment plans
• Economic growth trends in the region in general appear positive
  for most countries but…
• Countries remain vulnerable to external shocks like the global
  food price and financial crises, climate extremes, etc
• Food and nutritional security remain a major problem in most
  countries.
• Need to eliminate existing barriers to trade…



                                                                       45
Concluding remarks (2)
• Agricultural productivity growth in the region has been
  impressive but still below potential
• Hence need for significant investments in agricultural R&D an
  other investments

  • 3. About the report • Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) for agriculture and rural development indicators is a flagship M&E report prepared by ReSAKSS. • For what purpose? – Document & monitor progress towards achievement of the CAADP targets and other developmental goals. – Facilitate peer learning, review and mutual accountability among countries. • For the year 2011; ATOR focused on “Trends in Agricultural Productivity” 3
  • 5. CAADP Principles • Agriculture-led growth to achieve MDG1. • Pursuit of 6% average annual sector growth • Allocation of 10%of national budgets to agriculture sector • Exploitation of regional complementarities and cooperation to boost growth • Policy efficiency, dialogue, review and accountability (evidence-based policymaking) • Partnerships and alliances to include all stakeholders 5
  • 6. Stages of CAADP Implementation at Country Level Source: ReSAKSS, 2010 6
  • 7. CAADP Implementation • At the country level, the implementation process aims at:- – Aligning national agricultural sector policies, strategies and investment programs with CAADP principles, pillars and targets. • At the regional level, RECs plays a coordination role • Progress of implementation is varied among countries; – Some have made good progress while others lag behind – Countries in the COMESA region that had developed detailed investment plans include Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Malawi, Kenya, and Burundi 7

  • 9. Implementing M&E • Establishment and operation of M&E systems is critical in the implementation of CAADP compacts and Investment plans. • Why M&E? – To quantify progress in performance of the agricultural sector. – To monitor delivery on commitments. – Assess effectiveness of the various types of interventions. – Assess consistency with initial targets. • M&E systems established at various levels : – National level; embedded in national M&E systems; – Regional and continental levels; CAADP M&E Framework – Mutual Accountability Framework (MAF) at the national and international 9

  • 23. Productivity:- definitions • Agricultural productivity measures can be ; partial or total. • Total factor productivity (TFP); compares an index of agricultural inputs to an index of outputs. • Partial productivity; amount of output per unit of a particular input (e.g. land, labour etc) • TFP more appropriate but less often used due to paucity of data on prices key inputs 23
  • 24. Crop productivity • Maize is the key staple in most countries in the region. • Maize yields in the majority of countries in the COMESA region are very low; – Mostly less than 2 tones/ha compared to a world average of 5 tones/ha • Yield decline has occurred in several countries in the region over the past decade 24
