Context:International Support for Agriculture
• Decline in ODA to agriculture: 18%-3.5% between 1985-2004
• But recent increasing focus: • World Bank increasing lending
• $1 billion 2000-01• $2 billion 2006-07 (8% of lending IDA)
• EC increasing lending on Agriculture and rural development in new EDF by 15%
• New World Development Report shows the way
• But need to • Strengthen quality of policy and • level and effectiveness of investment

Mechanisms for effective aid to agriculture – Bi-lateral aid
• Bi-lateral aid - engagement at country level but context matters:• PRBS in Uganda with support to
GoU’s plan for modernisation of agriculture
• PRBS in Rwanda - DFID has supported development of national land policy
![Page 11: Aid Effectiveness to Agriculture and Food Security](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812a45550346895d8d7e08/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Bi-lateral aid – cont.
Sector PRBS in Ethiopia – the role of rural safety nets:
• Transitional programme - from food aid to long term development
• Donor funded (7), government and NGO implemented
• 7.3 million – 85% are food insecure farmers• Productive public works programmes
paying cash and food to build assets• Annual cost $300 million• DFID contribution £82 million
![Page 12: Aid Effectiveness to Agriculture and Food Security](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812a45550346895d8d7e08/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Bi-lateral aid – cont.
Bangladesh Chars Livelihood Programme -£50 million:
• Fully funded by DFID, private sector managed, NGO implemented – no govt!
• Provision of productive assets – livestock and land – + weekly stipends + training
• 50,000 poorest households targeted• Example how agriculture plays an
important part in reducing vulnerability by building assets
![Page 13: Aid Effectiveness to Agriculture and Food Security](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812a45550346895d8d7e08/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Bi-lateral aid – cont.
Zimbabwe Protracted Relief Programme - £36 million:
• Low cost drought resistant conservation farming techniques
• 1.5 million poorest farmers and destitute households
• Fully funded by DFID and implemented by an NGO consortium – no govt!
• Demonstrable and measurable impacts on agricultural productivity, incomes and food security

Mechanisms for effective aid to agriculture – Multilateralism
Maximise DFID leverage to improve effectiveness of intl. response to agriculture
• Engage and influence EC policy processes• Engage and influence UN reform + strategic
planning• WB – DFID funded and fed into WDR• Advancing a Green Revolution in Africa
(AGRA) – opportunity to support and influence a new approach to multilateralism
• Comprehensive African Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) – African led (AU) regional framework to spend more and better in agriculture –country commitment to spend 10% budget on agriculture
![Page 15: Aid Effectiveness to Agriculture and Food Security](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812a45550346895d8d7e08/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Mechanisms for effective aid to agriculture – Research
Agriculture research remains a DFID priority:• Delivers high returns and a key building block
for effective agricultural development. • DFID has been using its influence
internationally and regionally to increase effectiveness e.g. through reform of the CGIAR.
Options to address this:• DFID Research Strategy - increased
commitment to agricultural research to £400 million over 5 years.
• New research strategy offers an opportunity to scale up and address food price rises.

Current context: Food Price volatility
Politically, agriculture and food security are back on the agenda – FAO estimate there are now nearly 1 billion hungry:
• DFID response of £1 billion to address short, medium and long term responses
• International response is $10 billion• DFID supports the UN HLTF - Comprehensive
Framework for Action• DFID is calling for a Global Partnership for
Agriculture and Food Security (GPAFS) as a long term coordinated international response

Conclusions:
• Context matters – design your instruments to governance capacity
• Where appropriate, national led and owned approaches are best
• Political buy-in = sustainability• But using UN and NGOs good work can
still be done in fragile states• Don’t forget the broader linkages – rural
roads, access to water, health and nutrition, education, markets and trade
