    Ten years of the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency
    An FAO evaluation of the Agency’s impact on agricultural growth and poverty reduction

    Through a rigorous, multi-stage analysis, the evidence generated by this corporate evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA)’s business plan for achieving measurable changes in Ethiopia’s agricultural sector, both at micro and macro levels. The assessment also identifies areas for renewed and refined emphasis, as well as strategic planning for the future planning and monitoring of ATA’s work. This evaluation finds that ATA has achieved many of the outcomes it is being measured against, in terms of input use, extension services, and agricultural technology. The outcomes observed point to the effective removal of bottlenecks in the rural agricultural economy that have improved the linkages between producers, input markets and agricultural services. The improvements in those priority areas are reflected in productivity gains for certain priority crops and in market orientation positions that confirm ATA’s effectiveness in connecting producers to markets. FAO’s evaluation finds positive macroeconomic effects from ATA interventions, helping to ameliorate the reduction in gross domestic product growth, and also supporting the development of agroindustry and transportation services.

    An evaluation strategy for Ethiopia’s Agricultural Transformation Agency 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    An evaluation strategy for an agency mandated to transform the agricultural sector requires a comprehensive plan including the development of a theory of change to inform which indicators and mechanisms would lead to the desired impacts. Availability of quality data, through comprehensive primary data collection and data use systems, are the basis for evidence-based decision-making. Management information systems (MIS) can support in the processing and visualization of relevant data, but what lies behind these systems – namely, data quality, analysis, and purpose – is as important.

    Analysis of alternative routes of public investment in agriculture and their impact on economic growth and rural poverty reduction in Nicaragua 2020
    Also available in:

    In the face of the economic downturn that Nicaragua experienced in 2018 and the need for a recovery, the study provides a comparative analysis of how investments in productive infrastructure in different agri-food sectors would impact growth and poverty. The analysis is based on scenarios generated through an economy-wide model representing the Nicaraguan economy and its sectors. The model includes financing constraints and the study explores different financing options for the new investments.
