3 3of 38 Introduction 854 million chronically undernourished people Almost no progress towards WFS goals or MDG 1 Lack of investment one of principal constraints to increasing agricultural production 50% decline in IFI lending to agriculture International commitments not reaching agriculture Need greater domestic resource commitment Need to improve absorptive capacity of the sector
4 4of 38 Objectives After reading this module, you should know about [the main approaches to]: Public and private investment in agriculture Aid harmonization FAO s role through the Investment Centre
5 5of 38 Why invest in agriculture? (I) Consensus by development partners about MDGs and need to tackle rural poverty Commitment by governments at World Food Summit 1996 to promote public and private investment in agriculture 70% or more of poor people live in rural areas
6 6of 38 Why invest in agriculture? (II) Their livelihoods are predominantly in agriculture Investing in agriculture will directly impact poverty and help achieve MDG1 it not only raises incomes but also directly impacts food security and nutrition
7 7of 38 Public investment in agriculture (I) Investment in agriculture is essential but not alone health & education, infrastructure the purpose is to stimulate private investment Public investment has been falling especially in Africa developing country governments fail to invest Renewed commitment in Africa Maputo Declaration 10%
8 8of 38 Public investment in agriculture (II) Why has public investment declined? disillusionment with the sector poor performance reluctant to commit scarce resources new reduced role for government: provide public goods less interventionist divestment - privatization more role for private sector
9 9of 38 Public investment in agriculture (III) Limited programme formulation capacity reliance on external assistance limited training capacity in public administration decline of higher education in Africa poor incentives high staff turnover
10 10 of 38 Public investment in agriculture (IV) New training approaches needed formal, informal, on-the-job greater role for the private sector in planning National ownership and leadership the current central theme of development implies greater domestic capacity
11 11 of 38 Private investment in agriculture (I) The biggest investors are small farmers who: are small, private entrepreneurs are driven by need for food and for profit invest in seeds, fertilizer, tools and their own labour
12 12 of 38 Private investment in agriculture (II) Major obstacles to their investment lack of credit insecure land tenure poor roads and transport infrastructure high trader margins = low prices/high costs poor links with agribusiness supply chain
13 13 of 38 Private investment in agriculture (III) Major natural hazards drought flood pests & disease Man-made hazards commodity price fluctuations lack of information conflict
14 14 of 38 Private investment in agriculture (IV) Commercialisation essential to increase marketed output private sector needs predictable environment but, doing business in Africa difficult Public sector must set regulations grades & standards legal framework food safety & standards workers rights
15 15 of 38 Private investment in agriculture (V) Agribusiness the key develops supply chains transmits incentives uses international standards But faces huge problems poor roads, railways, markets = high costs lack of standards to define products lack of contract enforcement complexity of dealing with many small producers
16 16 of 38 Aid harmonization (I) Paris Declaration 2005 on aid effectiveness multilateral and bilateral donors agreed on new aid environment Main elements predictability of aid flows national ownership alignment with national strategies & systems harmonization
17 17 of 38 Aid harmonization (II) Outputs of Paris new aid architecture PBAs SWAps basket funding DBS Implications for programmes new programme cycle complex donor-government-beneficiary coordination procurement & monitoring
18 18 of 38 Implications for programme design process Greater consultation More partners priorities must be reflected Better understanding of national systems More capacity building of national systems Greater flexibility of design Results framework More costly process Often longer process
19 19 of 38 Public financial management (PFM) The core national system that must work Central to governance Untied financing through national budgets Demands confidence in the system by donors financial management, control & accountability
20 20 of 38 PER as an analytical tool for service delivery Assess service delivery against norms and across sectors Strengthening sectoral planning, budgeting and execution Tracking sectoral expenditures (COFOG) Impact per $ in budget
21 21 of 38 What benefits to developing countries? Greater ownership But more responsibility & accountability More flexibility Greater volume of assistance Simpler, harmonized procedures for reporting Greater choice in sourcing technical assistance Broader impact on creating national capacity

30 30 of 38 FAO Investment Centre: achievements Over 40 years of agriculture investment design Over 1,600 projects/programmes US$82 billion in investment by IFI partners Annually about US$3 billion investment Over 30% of IFI projects in agriculture Began as the World Bank Cooperative Programme (CP) Investment Support Programme (ISP) added later See notes for details
31 31 of 38 Facts & figures In biennium, TCI received US$21.7 million from FAO This is just 3% of the total FAO budget TCI delivered services worth US$48.6 million This is almost 2.5 times the amount of resources contributed by FAO FAO overall delivers just 1.1 times the resources it receives See notes for details
32 32 of 38 How is the extra delivery funded?

34 34 of 38 What are TCI s strengths? FAO cost-sharing allows TCI to give independent advice honest broker Helping donors without project preparation capacity Drawing upon FAO technical expertise Ensuring high quality outputs Strengthening national design capacity on-the-job SRO role in capacity building Costab SEPSS RuralInvest See notes for details
35 35 of 38 Conclusions Agriculture s share of aid stagnant Need to: find innovative financing mechanisms improve effectiveness in using resources raise the visibility of agriculture improve investment planning by ministries of agriculture
