The objective of this Agriculture Public
Expenditure Review (AgPER) is to provide an assessment of
the present situation and to offer recommendations to
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of public spending
in agriculture in Mozambique. The report provides a
sectorwide picture of the magnitude and structure of public
spending for agriculture in Mozambique over the past six
years, and an overall assessment of the budget process in
agriculture. It is intended that this analysis will inform
future decisions over priority public expenditures for
agriculture and the shifts in expenditure allocations and
other measures that are necessary to make the most effective
and efficient use of government budgetary resources and
donors' contributions in the agriculture sector. The
information is also meant to inform the New Partnership for
Africa's Development (NEPAD) secretariat about the
level and structure of spending in agriculture in
Mozambique, and help the Ministry of Agriculture; since 2005
(MINAG) to report suitable figures to NEPAD. The report
discusses the budget process in agriculture (budget
planning, execution, and reporting) and the linkages between
agricultural sector policies and strategy and public
expenditures. It suggests possible ways to raise the
effectiveness and efficiency of current public spending in
agriculture, with a view to enhancing its contribution to
Mozambique's economic growth and poverty reduction
objectives. An analysis of the spatial pattern of
expenditure is also provided. Some emphasis is placed on the
adequacy of data sources and planning and on the budgeting
procedures necessary in order to continuously align
expenditure to objectives, and to maximize their impact. The
report also draws some broad conclusions with regard to key
options of agricultural policy on the basis of the data
collected and available information on the relationship
between costs and effects of selected activity strata.
