CAADP M&E


Why a CAADP M&E framework

• Demand– At 2nd CAADP Partnership Platform (PP) meeting in 2007

(Addis Ababa): need common M&E Framework capable of measuring progress towards achieving CAADP goals and targets at all (national, regional and continental) levels

• Rationale– More than sum of pillar M&Es to consider how activities

associated with specific pillars interact with each other to affect overall CAADP goals and objectives

– Need indicators standardized and consistent across different countries and regions (and measurable at all levels) for comparisons and cross-country learning

Activities and achievements to date

• CAADP M&E working group established, beginning with a workshop at the AU (Addis Ababa, Dec 3-4, 2007)

• M&E framework developed and presented at CAADP PP meeting in Seychelles, March 2008

• Based on recommended indicators and data collection formats, working with network partners to collect and analyze data and present results to stakeholders through different outputs and channels, e.g.:– Website

– Newsletter

– Annual Trends Report

ODA Commitments and share to agriculture

• ODA to SSA has grown at 5%/year • Share to agriculture declined dramatically; although it has risen in recent times

Largest amounts: Mali, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia

Lowest amounts: Botswana, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo

Government spending on agriculture

2002

2007

Number of countries allocating: ≥10% = 6, 5%-10% = 19

Number of countries allocating: ≥10% = 9, 5%-10% = 17

Agricultural GDP growth

2002: Only 9 countries achieved 6% or more annual growth

2008: At least 20 countries achieved 6% or more annual growth

We know more in certain countries …

• How effective different types of policies and investments have been in contributing to growth and poverty reduction

• Factors, including non-agricultural policies and investments, that have shaped the achievements

• Several planned policies and investments are not compatible with the CAADP and MDG targets– Only 6 countries on track to achieve both targets of MDG1

• Key policies and investments that can lead to greater and better distributed growth and poverty outcomes

• and a lot more…

Host of things we don’t know …

• Although agriculture seems to be firmly back on the development agenda, why has pledges not translated into increased spending in many countries?

• Why has the CAADP process stalled in many countries?

• How has the CAADP process contributed to the achievements in agricultural growth and poverty reduction?

• How are agricultural budgets being spent? Are they being spent judiciously?

• What critical M&E information is needed to enhance effective dialogue and policy processes at all levels?


Challenges and next steps

• Key challenge is disaggregated data on expenditures– Program: four pillars of CAADP and capacity strengthening– Function: R&D, extension, irrigation, farm/input subsidies, etc.– Sub-sector: crops, livestock, fishery, forestry– Commodity: staples, exports, agro-industry, etc.– Spatial: Province, district, rural/urban, agro-ecology– Sources: government, donor, private sector– Other: gender, socio-economic

• Next steps/needs

– Increasing effort and resources to data collection and analyses

– Focusing more on tracking processes at all levels

– Making M&E results more available to all stakeholders
