2018

ABSTRACT

The Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) encourages the use of evidence‐ based agricultural policy planning and implementation processes through peer review, dialogue, benchmarking, and the adoption of best practices so as to strengthen mutual accountability for actions and results utilized in the implementation of agriculture sector policy. The Joint Sector Review (JSR) is a tool that ensures mutual accountability at the country level for policy actions by state and nonstate players.

The initial comprehensive Zimbabwe agriculture sector JSR was conducted to collectively review the effectiveness of policies and institutions in the sector, the status and quality of the JSR process itself, and the extent to which results and outcomes in the sector are being realized. This assessment will serve as a benchmark for future JSR assessments for the agriculture sector. The JSR assessment process included an initial workshop, the desk review of a wide range of documents, engagements with agriculture sector stakeholders, a JSR report validation workshop, and internal and external reviews of this report.
