CAADP M&E Samuel Benin, Research Fellow, IFPRIon behalf of ReSAKSS TeamInternational conference onAgriculture-led development for Africa:exploring new opportunities and strategic alternatives to inform African agricultural development, planning and policyNovember 23-24, 2009UNECA, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
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 Page 2
Idea behind CAADP M&E 1 Greater poverty reduction 8 t r a c k i n g a n a l y s i s r e p o r t i n g Other factors 2 P 4 Accelerated agricultural growth P 3 7 Other factors P 2 Increased & more efficient allocation of agricultural investments 3 P 1 Other factors More effective National level Roundtable Processes 6 Africa-wide level Declarations Decisions Regional level Early actions 4 Global level Commitments 5 Page 3
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 Page 4

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 Source: OECD CRS, 2009 Largest amounts: Mali, Burkina Faso, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia Lowest amounts: Botswana, Nigeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo Page 6
Government spending on agriculture Number of countries allocating: ≥10% = 6, 5%-10% = 19 2002 Sources: IMF, AU/NEPAD, Countries’ GFS, etc. 2007 Number of countries allocating: ≥10% = 9, 5%-10% = 17 Page 7
Agricultural GDP growth 2002: Only 9 countries achieved 6% or more annual growth 6% CAADP target 2008: At least 20 countries achieved 6% or more annual growth 6% CAADP target Page 8 Source: WDI

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… go to: http://www.resakss.org/ Page 10
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? Page 11
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 Page 12
