| description |
Agriculture is the backbone of
Malawi's economy, contributing about 30 percent to
total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and accounting for about
85 percent of employment and 80 percent of foreign exchange
earnings (60 percent of which come from tobacco alone), but
it largely remains subsistence farming plagued by low
productivity and high vulnerability. Agriculture development
and food security are amongst the key priorities of the
Government of Malawi (GoM) to achieve sustainable economic
growth and poverty alleviation. Increased agricultural
productivity, diversification and commercialization
constitute a key focus area of the overarching national
development framework, the Malawi Growth and Development
Strategy (MGDS) 2006-2011, followed by MGDS II 2011-2016. In
2010, this priority was translated into an Agricultural
Sector Wide Approach (ASWAp), aligned with the CAADP pillars
and the MGDS. This Agricultural Public Expenditure Review
(AgPER), carried out at the request of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food Security (MoAFS), intends to enhance
the efficiency, effectiveness and equity of future public
spending in the sector, and thus contribute to ASWAp
successful implementation. It was financed by the program
'strengthening national comprehensive agricultural
public expenditure in Sub-Saharan Africa', funded by
the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the CAADP
Multi-Donor Trust Fund and implemented by the World Bank. |
