LINKAGES BETWEEN CAADP AND SECTOR APPROACHES IN AGRICULTURE

LINKAGES BETWEEN CAADP AND SECTOR

APPROACHES IN AGRICULTURE

A presentation at the CAADP Partnership Platform, March 2011

Désirée Dietvorst – [email protected]

Preface to this distribution version of the presentationThis presentation was made to the 7th CAADP Partnership Platform in

response to country requests for a clarification of the link between the CAADP process and agricultural SWAps. It is for this reason that the presentation starts with an explanation on SWAps and then moves to CAADP.

However, what is important is not so much the link to SWAps – but instead the link between CAADP and Country Structures and Systems, in particular national policy, planning and budget cycles.

By anchoring the CAADP process in national policy and financial management systems, it will help strengthen these systems and commitments made under CAADP will receive a legitimacy that is needed to assure implementation and strengthen accountability. This can and should happen in all countries, regardless of whether there is an agricultural SWAp in place or not.

Therefore, further steps in this process will focus on ‘Linking the CAADP process to Country Structures and Systems’ as is explained in the last slide.

1. THE SECTOR WIDE APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT

Two common conceptsA SWAp (Sector Wide Approach) requires that all significant funding for

the sector supports a single sector policy and expenditure programme, under government leadership, adopting common approaches across the sector and progressing towards relying on Government procedures to disburse and account for all funds

A Programme Based Approach is a way of engaging in development cooperation based on the principle of coordinated support for a locally owned programme of development: (i) Leadership by the host country or organisation; (ii) A single programme and budget framework (iii) Donor coordination and harmonisation of procedures (iv) Efforts to increase use of local procedures over time

Problem of the approach

There is a risk of confusing ‘means’ and ‘ends’ in development

We have to move beyond the focus on aid delivery to a focus on sector development

How wide is ‘sector wide?’

The Sector Wide Approach is:A practical approach to planning & management, which:• Identifies inter-related sector constraints &

opportunities• Addresses constraints and opportunities which require

coordinated action across actors and sub-sectors

The SWAp is first and foremost a planning and management instrument for government, which can be supported by donors...

and where it is donor supported, the SWAp offers government an effective tool for donor coordination to which all support modalities can be aligned

COMPREHENSIVE AFRICA AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (CAADP)

The CAADP Country Process IS a SWAp! • It looks at the agricultural sector as a whole

• It aims to strengthen linkages between policy, budget, activities, monitoring

• It focuses on building country capacity

• It fosters alignment of donor support behind country owned agriculture development plans

CAADP Country Process

Summary• The CAADP approach to agriculture development is sector-wide in

scope• The CAADP process has to be anchored in the core of government

business and at the heart of country systems for it to become a true driver of change – and of a change that is sustainable

• The CAADP process can add value to country-systems of policy, planning and public finance by:– making the policy dialogue more inclusive (involving both state and non

state actors)– capturing cross-sector linkages (e.g. between agriculture growth & land,

water, trade and infrastructure)– linking public and private investment in the sector (in the Agriculture

Investment Plan)– offering a framework for alignment for all development support (incl.

that provided by NSAs like NGOs and (global) private funds)

Next Steps• NPCA shall set up a Task Team to elaborate the work

under ‘Linking the CAADP process to Country Structures and Systems’

• A Discussion Note will be produced by the NPCA Task Team and circulated to CAADP stakeholders for comments

• Based on comments received a Concept Note will be produced and disseminated to CAADP stakeholders

• Support measures (e.g. guidelines, workshops) to assist stakeholders in improving linkages between CAADP and country structures will be designed and delivered
