This note analyzes the trajectory of the benchmark and its implications for the effort required of countries to remain on-track or get on-track toward achieving the goals and targets of the Malabo Declaration by 2025. It also analyzes the change in the overall score obtained by different countries between the 2018 and 2020 BRs by decomposing the contribution of different indictors to the change. This helps to explain why fewer countries were on-track in the 2020 BR compared to the 2018 BR.

Le rapport s’articule autour de six chapitres. Après une description générale au chapitre 1, vient le chapitre 2 consacré à la performance commerciale de l’Afrique sur les marchés mondiaux. Les chapitres 3 et 4 portent respectivement sur la mesure de l’intégration commerciale régionale et la compétitivité des chaînes de valeur agricoles en Afrique. Au chapitre 5, les auteurs se penchent sur le thème principal du rapport de 2019, à savoir les effets que les bouleversements en cours dans le système commercial mondial pourraient avoir sur les économies africaines.

This paper presents results of a data partnership framework for strengthening evidence-based planning and implementation that was initiated in 2019 in five selected African countries (Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Senegal, and Togo) during the second round of the CAADP biennial review (BR) process. It analyzes the effect of the activities conducted on the data reporting rate and the quality of data reported in the five pilot countries, compared with what was achieved in like-pilot countries.

In Ghana and other countries, controversy over what figures to count as GAE as a share of GTE toward the CAADP 10 percent target continues to impede the tracking of this indicator. Such discrepancies may side-track policy actions and efforts needed to sustainably raise productivity and growth in the sector. Two recent agPER studies conducted in Ghana show high estimates of performance in this indicator at 6.7–21.2 percent in 2001– 2011 and 5.8–7.5 percent in 2012–2015.

This note presented revised estimates for Ghana in accordance with the official AU guidance note for assessing GAE against the CAADP 10 percent target. It also proposed a revised formula for obtaining parallel estimates when expenditures of Cocobod and other market-based PBCs are included in the calculations, which was achieved by adding expenditures of all market-based PBCs to GTE in the denominator to make it comparable to adding expenditures of Cocobod to GAE in the numerator.

This report is one of the annual monitoring and evaluation (M&E) reports for the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) generated by the Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS) network. The topic featured in this report is: public agricultural expenditure and investments. The overall objective is to review and analyse data and synthesize information on agricultural expenditure by the public and private sectors so as to shed light on the progress being made in addressing the problem of low investment in the agricultural sector.

Swaziland as a developing middle income country has continuously sought to create an enabling environment for the development of the agricultural sector. The country has enacted policies and strategies together with programs to facilitate the attainment of growth targets in the agricultural sector (World Bank, 2011). Consequently, this will lead to the attainment of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) targets, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and facilitate economic growth.
