DocumentZimbabwe: Transitioning Emergency into Rehabilitation and Development. Plan of Action 2010-2015 2015
Also available in:
No results found.As part of its Strategic Framework 2010-2019, FAO aims to improve linkages and transitions between emergency, rehabilitation and development. The FAO Emergency Operations and Rehabilitation Division (TCEO) uses the Plan of Action (PoA) as a tool to promote more integrated planning and coordination and to guide a smooth transition from relief to development. The PoA describes the FAO strategy in Zimbabwe for “bridging” emergency activities with more medium and long-term development programmes ove r the next five years. This document maps out FAO support to the Government of Zimbabwe (GoZ) and other main stakeholders for the revitalization of the agricultural sector in Zimbabwe. It proposes to align FAO assistance and support with government priorities and strategies. Through implementing the PoA, FAO also intends to reinforce collaboration and enable more integrated planning between the FAO emergency unit and regular country programme, as well as other FAO technical units, throughout the transition period. The PoA was designed using a participatory approach involving Government, non-governmental organization (NGO) partners, civil society - including producer organizations, donors and various FAO units from the Southern Africa sub-regional office and headquarters. It is built around three interrelated Strategic Focus Areas (SFAs) contributing to Outcome 6 of the Zimbabwe United Nations Development Assistance Framework (ZUNDAF) 2007-2011 - improved food security and sustain able management of natural resources and the environment. -

Book (series)The opportunity cost of not repurposing public expenditure in food and agriculture in sub-Saharan African countries
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.Repurposing public support to food and agriculture has gained significant global attention. However, resources allocated to support the food and agriculture sector may not be high enough for significant repurposing in sub-Saharan Africa. This paper shows that most governments in 18 sub-Saharan African countries have allocated small shares of their budget to agriculture since 2004. Their narrow fiscal space and budget implementation capacity constrain any sizable increase in the budget allocated to agriculture. In this paper, an innovative policy optimization modelling tool helps us assess what would happen if the limited budget allocated to the crops and livestock sectors in six of the sub-Saharan African countries were reallocated optimally across different policy support measures and subsectors/commodities, under the same budget constraint. It shows public expenditure is being allocated inefficiently in all six countries and the needed reallocations to solve such allocative inefficiencies, which would result in higher agrifood output growth, thousands of off-farm jobs being created in rural areas, and millions of people getting out of poverty or being now able to afford a healthy diet.
