3 GTP 2 3
4 GTP-2: overview GTP-2 has 5 high level objectives for agriculture GTP2 objectives for agriculture: የግብርና ሲክተር ዋና ዋና ግቦች Accelerated growth in agricultural production with a gradual shift towards high value crops Sustainable, broad based, and inclusive agricultural development Elimination of national food gap (and, ultimately, actual contribution by the agricultural sector to national capital formation) 4 Establishment of a market system that benefits farmers and non-farm actors 5 Improved implementation capacity: institutional and human resource (attitudes, skills, competency) 4
5 GTP-2: overview to be achieved through 4 strategic objectives 1 Increased crop production and productivity focusing on strategic crops 2 A-GTP2 Strategic Objectives 3 Increased livestock production and productivity Reduced degradation and improved productivity of natural resources 4 Enhanced food security at national and HH level 5
6 GTP-2: overview and complementary objectives in other sectors Trade and Industry, Finance and other services Enhanced domestic and export markets for agricultural products Growth in agro-industry Increased investment, efficiency and competition in aggregation, storage and marketing functions Improved availability of key services: formal financial services, transportation, vocational/adult education, micro and small enterprise development Infrastructure development: roads, water, energy Increased road networks (linking markets) Expanded utility networks (e.g., electricity) in rural areas Increased irrigation infrastructure Development of alternative energy sources 6
7 GTP-2: new areas of focus What is new? GTP-2 builds on and takes forward the first 5 year plan. But some new areas of emphasis have emerged Continued emphasis on high (8%) growth rate in agricultural production, but with a focus on strategic crops identified as key food crops, export/high value commodities (coffee, spices, horticulture, livestock); and, industrial inputs Continued emphasis on natural resources development, particularly irrigation Continued emphasis on ensuring food security and inclusiveness in the growth process addressing the needs of the food insecure, pastoralists/agro-pastoralists, women, youth Enhanced focus on rural employment generation Integration of climate adaptation and mitigation issues with specific objectives defined for climate smart agriculture Enhanced focus on promoting mechanized agriculture Customizing agricultural services to different contexts and ensuring quality of services beyond increasing coverage Inclusion of a transformation agenda that will receive dedicated attention and will be monitored separately 7
8 The Agricultural Transformation Agenda 8
9 Agricultural transformation in Ethiopia Defining Agricultural Transformation Definition Developing the Agricultural Transformation Agenda Implementation & monitoring The agricultural transformation agenda is a set of interventions that unlock systemic bottlenecks within the agricultural sector to catalyze transformation from a subsistence oriented, low output agricultural sector to a high performing sector well integrated into the national economy and to do so in an environmentally sustainable and inclusive manner. The Agricultural Transformation Agenda is developed around interventions (deliverables) to unlock systemic bottlenecks identified though: Analysis of critical issues that constrain agricultural development; consideration of incountry and international best practices and innovative approaches to addressing such issues as well as extensive consultation with different stakeholders; and, development of strategies based on such analysis and consultation. Building on strategies and in-depth consideration of systemic bottlenecks, development of various deliverables. These deliverables constitute the Agricultural Transformation Agenda. Multiple stakeholders implement the Agricultural Transformation Agenda: While implementation is coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture, the various deliverables of the Agricultural Transformation Agenda are implemented by diverse stakeholders. ATA is responsible for monitoring its progress. For each deliverable, annual targets and quarterly milestones are established, which form the basis for monitoring. 4 The Agricultural Transformation Agenda supports implementation of key Alignment with strategies for the agricultural sector (i.e., the second 5 year growth and national policies transformation plan) 9
10 Agricultural Transformation in Ethiopia The Agricultural Transformation Agenda is currently being developed across 30 key program within four strategic pillars 1 Pillars of the Transformation Agenda Increase crop and livestock production and productivity 3 Environmental sustainable and inclusive growth and national food security Crops Livestock Crops & livestock 4 Enhance implementation capacity Seed supply and distribution Fertilizer supply & distribution Livestock breed and genetic improvement Demand-driven research Market-oriented extension Soil health and fertility Rural land use & administration Climate change adaptation, mitigation & risk mgt. 30 program areas 2 Market services & infrastructure Commercial orientation of Food safety, quality, assurance & smallholder agriculture traceability and market development Aggregation and storage Cooperative development NRM and Food Security Inclusive Growth Gender equality Targeted livelihood support (for selected population groups including youth) ICT for agricultural services Organizational and human resources capacity Crop protection and health Livestock feed and feeding Livestock health Rural finance Mechanization Agro-processing & value addition Domestic & export market development Private medium and large scale farm development Irrigation and drainage Watershed & forestry development Bio-diversity Nutrition Evidence-based planning and M&E Private sector development Anchor Deliverable The Agricultural Commercialization Cluster Initiative as a means of integrating the solutions within the 30 Program areas. Focus on measurable impacts on smallholder farmers working on specific high priority commodities in clearly identified geographies. 10
11 Agricultural Transformation in Ethiopia The role of the Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) A ATA would provide two types of high level implementatio n support B ATA would be responsible for implementing specific systemic interventions in two key ways 1 GTP2 Agricultural Interventions 2 Defining and monitoring the Agricultural Transformation Agenda Implementation support Summary of ATA support 3 In a narrow set of prioritized interventions that Piloting are deemed to be time sensitive, ATA takes the lead in piloting a solution and hands over a successful pilot to key partners for scale-up 4 End-to-end solutions ATA has worked with various stakeholders to identify a set of targeted and high impact interventions (deliverables) that constitute the agricultural transformation agenda. ATA assists deliverable owners to provide accurate reporting on developments related to the Agricultural Transformation Agenda; ATA provides quarterly reporting on the Agricultural Transformation Agenda to the Agricultural Transformation Council ATA provides owners of prioritized interventions in the Agricultural Transformation Agenda with support in three key areas: (a) Strategy development, (b) Detailed problem solving, (c) Capacity building and (d) Coordination support In an even narrower set of prioritized interventions where there is time urgency and lack of capacity in the system, ATA has taken the responsibility to execute an intervention at scale while building the capacity of the long term owner in the system for hand over 11
