4. 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

5. 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.

6. 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

14. 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

Establishing the Food Security Advisory Council coordination of investments under this programme and the National Policy on Food and Nutrition Security to coordinate focused implementation at all levels
Establishment and maintaining a food security information system to monitor, evaluate and assess food insecurity and nutrition at all levels through regular (annual) updates and coordinated regular national surveys in partnership with DPME and StatsSA. .

19. Priority Component 5: Institutional Capacity Devt (the how) CONTINUED
Establishing a forum for sharing lessons and insight for continual engagement of all stakeholders in the review of progress, reform of policies and programmes and drafting of the necessary legislation to enable the implementation of the components of this compact

25. 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)

26. 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

27. 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)

28. 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

29. OUTCOMES OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURE REVIEW
The average agriculture public investment for 2003/04 to 2013/ 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

41. IS SOUTH AFRICA EXPERIENCING A RUDE AWAKENING?
CONCLUSION
IS SOUTH AFRICA EXPERIENCING A RUDE AWAKENING?
Challenges encountered with the development of National Agriculture Investment Plan (NAIP)
Implementation of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) versus signing of CAADP Compact
All eyes are on South Africa to provide a good BR Report due to its developmental state
The first Draft BR Report is due on the 30 June 2017 to Africa Union Commission (AUC)
Strengthen Planning & Monitoring and Evaluation Systems in place for future BR Reporting
2018 BR Report will form as a baseline for next reporting so as to improve on gaps and challenges that might be encountered during this reporting process
