  2. Outline and background • Follows OECD 2009 - database – http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx See Development/Aid Activities/Creditor Reporting System • They cover all agricultural aid from OECD DAC countries • We look specifically at EU countries aid to SSA only – overview • Historical background – theoretical framework - regional distribution – amounts and shares by donor country – aid effort – disbursements versus commitments – decomposition by purpose – broad sector aid including food aid and emergency assistance. • Top recipients – aid by purpose for Mozambique, Ghana and Uganda Key points • Bilateral aid to agriculture has halved since the mid 1980s • DAC aid to agriculture was 17% of total aid in the late 1980s – now only 6%

  3. A Theoretical Framework • The basic concept is not difficult. We have a matrix with a column for each donor county i, where i =1….m, and a row for each recipient country j, where j = 1…n. The EU countries are all bilateral donors and if in addition we knew their contributions to multilateral agencies, summing the columns would give the country totals in terms of either commitments or disbursements. Similarly, most of the countries of SSA are recipients and summing the rows would give the total aid allocated to each country.
