15th CAADP Partnership Platform Participants Call for Data and Analysis to Support the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement

 By Tsitsi Makombe

On May 30, 2019, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement entered into force. To trigger its implementation, the agreement needed a minimum of 22 country ratifications. The AfCFTA aims to gradually eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers, accelerate regional and continental integration, improve customs and trade facilitation, develop regional and continental value chains, foster investment and industrialization, and ultimately, boost intra-African trade.

Trends and composition of government expenditure on agriculture in Ghana, 1960-2015

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.

Ghana ’s 10 percent agriculture expenditure saga

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.
