CAADP IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS IN SOUTH AFRICA Launched in 2011 Stock-taking 11 consultative workshops (over 2000 participants including farmers from almost every district in the country) Compact drafted National Agriculture and Food Security Investment Plan drafted National consultative workshop 5 Policy Briefs prepared in readiness for signing the Compact and the Business meeting Expenditure analysis was completed

Unique and innovative approach to conducting a rapid appraisal In the absence of data on the smallholder sector, the CAADP process in of this context. A series of participatory stakeholder workshops for policy stocktaking was carried out. Information was solicited through these questions: Who is involved in producing and marketing what commodities and products where in the country and what resources they have available to them What policies and programmes already exist; What are the gaps in: institutions, coordination, infrastructure, capacity etc. What opportunities are there to address these gaps, increase economic growth and reduce poverty? What is the vision/aspiration for the future? What should change in the next 5 and 10 years? What is needed to achieve this vision? What are the constraints and threats to achieving this vision? How can these constraints and threats be overcome? Who needs to do what? What strategic investment programmes are needed to achieve the vision and overcome the constraints? Identify priority interventions.

What did South Africans participating in the largest national consultation on food security say government should do? Over 2000 people in 11 workshops across the country August 2012 – January 2014

Institutional capacity development

Priority Component 1: Intensification and development of sustainable production systems Focus on field crops, horticultural products, fisheries, aquaculture, livestock for subsistence, smallholder and commercial farmers which sets out to increase agricultural production, productivity and profitability. The programme targets subsistence producers, smallholders and commercial producers. The programme seeks to ensure: Increased participation of smallholder farmers in the agricultural sector Improved productivity, profitability and farm enterprise management Stock theft reduction Improved disease management and control in all sub-sectors Lower unit production costs Entrance opportunities for new farmers Improved tenure security and access to agriculturally productive land Greater access for farmers to adoptable research and technology

Priority Component 1: Specific programmes Infrastructure and mechanisation support for smallholder farmers Development of an appropriate research agenda, policy and programme to support smallholders and fisheries and aquaculture (including new entrants) to improve seed and stock quality for field, horticulture, livestock and aquaculture to improve production, increase profitability and manage disease and provide funding for such research. Establishment of aqua-logistics infrastructure, (e.g. research, hatcheries, processing, boats, and demonstration centre and extension support) Development of a policy and programme implementation plan for the small-scale fisheries (marine) sector

Priority Comp 2: Agribusiness, value chain and market development and policy reform To create profitable and competitive on- and off-farm enterprises in a broader range of sustainable, profitable and integrated value chains. The programme seeks to: Increase number of smallholder farmers actively participating in sustainable, profitable and integrated value chains Improve market infrastructure (on and off farm) Increase value addition and beneficiation Improve partnerships in value chains (stakeholders working together) Ensure more farmers have access to finance Create a coordinated and enabling policy environment Ensure import substitution Create balanced market protection and growth in exports

Priority Component 2: key programmes Implementation of a dedicated programme to develop capacity to meet food safety and private standards for smallholder and new businesses. Establish a Comprehensive Market Development Programme Establish a Manufacturing Competitiveness Enhancement Programme (MCEP) for on-farm and off-farm Establish a sub-sector Specific Export Marketing and Investment Assistance Scheme (EMIA) to include export enhancement programme (all categories and prioritise primary and tertiary agriculture, forestry and fisheries) and sub-sector sector specific incentives to assist with market access and value chain participation and capacity building.

Priority Component 3: Education, capacity and professional development It seeks to build a professional, developed entrepreneurial farming community with the knowledge and skills to participate in the entire value chain and offer opportunities (internships, mentoring, scholarships and continued professional development) and attract new entrants into the sector (particularly the youth). The programme seeks to: Improve farmer capacity to participate in the whole agricultural value chain (with a focus on women and youth) Establishment of a comprehensive, appropriate and integrated training programme for the sector for on-going professional development of farmers, mentors and extension staff Increase the number of farmers, extension and officials accessing improved research and development Improve the ratio of extension staff to farmers and improve extension services Increase the amount of agricultural sciences and nutrition in the general school curriculum Increase number of agricultural specialists in the public service

Priority Component 3: to be achieved through Reviewing existing capacity development programmes and revising and expanding their offerings to provide comprehensive capacity development programmes for farmers, subsistence producers, mentors and extension officers in skills beyond primary production and including financial, business and farm management. Establishment of an information and knowledge and support system to assist farmers and disseminate research information Reviewing the school curriculum and develop a syllabus to increase the amount of agricultural sciences and nutrition in the general school.

CAADP IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS (SOUTH AFRICA) Outstanding work in Step 2 Financial analysis - enterprise profitability Technical analysis – locally feasible technical options for increased productivity Institutional analysis - assess agricultural institutions’ mandates and capacities and inter-agency cooperation (SWOT) Ecosystems analysis – Bio-physical, socio-economic and farming systems characteristics and opportunities for adaptation (Available) Stakeholder review and validation of the study outcomes - identify challenges and priorities around investment plans to enhance agricultural performance Costed National Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Investment Plan The baseline information derived from analytical studies is necessary for: Investment Planning Targeting (what level of investment is optimal & what growth rate is realistic)

The study on SA Agriculture Public Expenditure Review Rational for the study: Determine extent of public spending on agriculture To provide recommendations on budget planning, execution and accountability in the agricultural sector across different departments. Test alignment of budgeting process with agricultural policy priorities • Compare South Africa with other countries • Solicit support for greater spending support on Agriculture

APPROACH FOLLOWED Used State of Expenditure data at accounting unit level for DAFF Sub-program level data for the rest derived from Government Basic Accounting System Income statements from State Owned Entities for all the budgeted, adjusted and actual expenditure by both economic classification and function All expenditure items coded using COFOG and a “harmonised” programme structure (Administration and Services, Production Support, Regulatory Services, Natural Resources Management, Farmer Support and Extension, Financing, Agricultural Economics, Forestry and Fisheries)

METHODOLOGICAL CHALLENGES FACED National Level • Frequent program structure changes • Increasingly reflected in changing names of functional units • Sub-division of accounting units Provinces • Provincial level agricultural program structure in various stages of harmonization – some inconsistency in content. Provincial Departments also responsible for non agricultural functions (environmental affairs) . SOE’s • Great variation in reporting formats (inconsistent with BAS) • Too little information on functional breakdown Generally • Lack synergy between National, Provincial and SOE programs

OUTCOMES OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEW The average agriculture public investment for 2003/04 to 2013/14 in RSA = 1.8% of Government expenditure • Benchmark of the Maputo Declaration to increase public expenditure on agriculture for 10 per cent is neither achievable nor appropriate for South Africa given the size of the economy. Public spending in the South African agricultural sector is complemented by a strong private sector investment since 1930. Followed by high level of secondary and tertiary sector development in economy
