Rapid Assessment of Aid Flows for Agricultural Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
FAO Investment Centre Discussion Paper
2009

Also available in:

No results found.

This discussion paper provides an initial assessment of the flow of aid to agriculture in Sub- Saharan Africa. This assessment is based on data on Official Development Assistance (ODA) collected from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) databases (as it was available in April 2009), major bilateral and multilateral financing agencies, as well as two private foundations active in the agriculture sector. Trends in ODA show a long-term decline in agricultural ODA to Sub -Saharan Africa, particularly in relation to social sectors. In recent years, however, ODA to the agriculture sector has increased and there is more financing for agriculture than usually assumed if aid flows from private foundations are included. Findings from the data also highlight the need for: balancing shortterm food security interventions with long productivity investments; a focus on aid harmonization due to numerous donors in the sector; and the potential problem of absorptive capacity due to low disbursement rates by aid recipients.
