2 Objectives Programme & evaluation: activities, findings & issues Programme lessons Evaulation difficulties in identifying and disentangling the impacts of the programme: theoretical, methodological and empirical Suggest ways forward Learn, get ideas! LIDC, January
3 Outline Programme background Programme objectives Evaluation challenges Programme impacts? Evaluation activities Programme achievements Programme impacts Subsidy lessons Assessing impacts: challenges & ways forward LIDC, January
4 The Malawi Story Up to 2005: Intermittent removal and reinstatement of different maize seed & fertiliser subsidies, and food shortages/ famine Subsidies became highly politicised 2005/6 A very poor, donor dependent economy, but introduced a very large scale (50% hh) maize & tobacco fertiliser (100kg/hh) & maize seed subsidy programme, with mixed support / opposition from donors, no direct donor funding but using budget support Programme extremely popular, large maize surplus reported Internationally politicised issue: an example of national success against donor advice? an unsustainable & ineffective/ inefficient use of scarce resources? 2006/7 and subsequent years Donors decided to support and influence domestic policies Specific donor support for seeds, logistics, private sector involvement, evaluation study
5 Objectives Impacts? Government stated objectives: Increase Resource poor households access to Beneficiaries input use inputs Food & cash crop production National & beneficiaries National & household food self-sufficiency production Income of resource poor households Other (others ) objectives? Promotion of economic growth Poverty reduction Beneficiaries income Benefit : cost analysis Land & labour productivity Structural change Income levels, food access & security, prices, nutrition, wages, vulnerability, education, Develop private sector agro dealer Dealer network, volumes, network finances Political gains???? 5
6 Evaluation challenges Scope of objectives & focus of evaluation Political profile of programme Household & market impact pathways Scale effects Measures /indicators of impact Data Analytical methods So what are the potential or expected impacts? LIDC, January
7 Input supply system Different players investment, finances, innovation, services Effects on recipients Production & productivity Income & food security Market activities Subsidy Implementation Scale, cost, modalities Rural Household Impacts Markets etc Labour, maize, other farm, non-farm, etc Effects on Macro economy Fiscal & Forex balances. Sectoral spending Effects on nonrecipients Production & productivity Income & food security Market activities Other macroeconomic management Political & policy processes Previous season(s) events & outcomes Weather Other rural economic activities Global & regional prices Maize price policies
8 Rural household impacts (1): poverty & the low maize productivity trap High poverty rates (50% <$0.40 in 2004) Small holdings (50% < 1.0ha) Continuous maize cultivation Declining soil fertility Recurring food insecurity Highly variable maize prices 97% farmers grow maize (half also buyers) >70% cultivated land under maize LIDC, January 2011 Limited agric. credit Low producer investment Unstable maize prices Low maize & agric productivity Low & vulnerable real incomes Consumer lock in to low productivity maize Low demand for non-agric goods & services 8
9 Rural household impacts (2): households & markets RURAL HOUSEHOLDS Poorer households Resale Nutrition, schooling, welfare, hh relations Farm/ non farm investment Y1 Increased real incomes Y2 Increased real incomes Input Subsidy Incremental use Displacement use Less- poor households Y1 Increased production Y2 Increased production RURAL ECONOMY Y1 Increased wages Y2 Reduced maize prices Y2 Increased wages Community Input service relations Farm/ non 9 farm demand & investment demand & investment
10 Other impacts? Positive Nutrition Schooling Wider longer term contributions to growth from higher land & labour productivity, lower maize prices, growth & diversification of local economies, reduced food insecurity Replenishment of soil fertility Reduce extended cultivation onto more marginal slopes and soils and into forested land. Reduced fiscal & social costs of food imports & shortages in bad years Negative other costs incurred by government agencies & staff implementing the programme, & their lost productivity crowding out of other activities eg agricultural research & extension, roads, schools or health facilities & services Fertiliser & hybrid seed dependence & lock-in LIDC, January

21 Estimates of incremental maize production over 2002/3 & 3/4, net exports & prices 21
22 Monthly maize prices (1990 MK/kg) Subsidy years But high prices in 2008/9 not accompanied by livelihood stresses & impacts of earlier years with high prices (eg 2001/2, 2005/6) LIDC, January 2011
23 Maximum maize price by maize availability 2000/1 2004/5 1996/7 1993/4 1993/4 to 2004/5 production seasons 2001/2 1994/5 2003/4 2002/3 1997/8 1995/6 2007/8 1998/9 2005/6 2006/7-2008/9 production seasons 2008/9 1999/ /7 2009/10 January 2011 This has 2009/10 added carry over stocks will push this right? 23
24 Household Food Consumption over Past 1 & 12 months, 2006/ /09 Proportion of households in 2006/07 (%) Less than adequate last month Just adequate last month More than adequate Proportion of households in 2008/09 (%) Less than adequate last month Just adequate last month More than adequate Proportion of households in 2006/07 (%) Less than adequate last 12 months Just adequate last 12 months More than adequate Proportion of households in 2008/09 (%) Less than adequate last 12 months Just adequate last 12 months More than adequate LIDC, January
25 Subjective poverty ranking Mean Ranking of Own Poverty Assessment 2004 June June2009 (adjusted) 2007 Change in mean ranking (%) Change in proportion of the very poor (%) (very poor) to 6 (very rich LIDC, January
26 Other impacts from FGD reduced begging (which benefits both poor and less poor people); reduced need to work off farm (ganyu) higher school enrolments(also attributed to increased school feeding programmes) ; reduced malnutrition; reduced theft and increased grain storage; improved social relations with less hunger, but poorer social relations where there was conflict over the allocation of very limited numbers of coupons; increased investments in houses and businesses Higher ganyu wages (but also higher maize prices) LIDC, January
27 Wider impacts lack of evidence of food shortages despite high prices rising nominal wage rates from 2005/6 (greater than 2006/7 maize prices rises, matched 2005/6-8/9) poverty incidence estimates fallen from 52% in 2004/5 to 40% in 2007/8 and 2008/9 Economic growth impacts? Other contributors are high tobacco prices macro-economic stabilisation (also affected by FISP) good weather Indicative modelling: poor beneficiary households real income increases of 10% to 100%, poor non-beneficiary households real income increases 0% to 20% Economic returns sensitive to yield increment & maize prices, fiscal returns also sensitive to displacement LIDC, January
28 Benefit cost ratios & fiscal efficiency Displacement 20-30% 30-40% 30-40% 20-30% 15% Maize price in analysis Fertiliser price in analysis Benefit cost ratio: High response Moderate Low response Fiscal efficiency: High response Moderate negative 0.16 Low response negative negative 0.23 negative negative BCR insensitive to displacement, FE sensitive difficult to estimate High maize prices raise returns but negative welfare & growth effects? Sensitive to yields & prices Very rapid returns (< 1 year) to rural incomes Bad year effects? LIDC, January
29 Input supply impacts Fertiliser importers benefited from increasing subsidy sales, rising from 70,000MT to 162,000MT, some difficulties from exposure to foreign exchange losses from payment delays Maize seed suppliers benefited from significant growth in sales over the life of the programme Small agro-dealers excluded from retail sales of fertiliser subsidies, some, with larger retailers, able to sell subsidised maize seed from 2006/7 onwards. Some larger retailers able to sell subsidised fertilisers in 2006/7 and 2007/8, Participating retail outlets reported significant increase in unsubsidised sales in 2006/7 but private retailers exclusion from fertiliser sales in 2008/9 led to falls in reported unsubsidised fertiliser sales Farmer access: Timeliness? Choice? Information? Remote access? Prices? LIDC, January
30 Macroeconomic impacts macroeconomic economic environment stable although high expenditure on AISP with high fertilizer prices increased government deficit in 2008/09 & domestic price instability Increases in official estimates of maize production from 2005/6 have had a significant positive impact on GDP growth - estimates of incremental production due to subsidy programme are lower but still very large: inflation increases due to higher maize and fuel prices moderated by subsidy s incremental maize production downward influence on maize prices? LIDC, January
31 Cross country subsidy lessons Subsidy preconditions: stakeholder commitment, delivery systems, technology Subsidy context & focus: inputs for important staple crops with high response to input use but current market, profitability & affordability constraints; consumer & producer gains. Stability but flexibility (changing conditions, learning) Subsidy scale: sufficient to affect staple crop prices and/or labour markets, but limited to control costs with limited displacement, not crowding out other investments. Deal with the challenges & make the most of the gains 31
32 Assessing impacts: challenges Scope Economic, food security, intra-household issues, graduation/ exits, direct and indirect, education, health, immediate & long term; theory Data Farm families Yields, fertiliser response Food security Wages Panel attrition Methods Yields, fertiliser response Displacement effects unsubsidised purchases, diversion, crop substitution Inadequacy of BCA perverse food price effect; static Estimating market effects (wages, maize prices) Confounding policy effects? LIDC, January
33 Assessing impacts: ways forward Scope Less depth on some issues (eg input supply systems, agronomy) & more on intra-household issues, graduation/ exits ( multi-scale graduation pathways ), direct and indirect, education, health, immediate & long term; develop theory Data Farm families very difficult Yields, fertiliser response very difficult, stop wasted data collection efforts! Food security & nutrition improve data, anthropometrics? Wages increased attention Panel attrition increased attention child headed households? Methods Improved BCA Consumer benefits from food price effects Nutrition & schooling benefits - least cost? Dynamic market effects? LIDC, January
