| Summary: | This report assesses agriculture policy
support estimates in Angola. These estimates represent the
monetary value assigned to different agriculture support
policies and programs using the OECD methodology for the
years 2018–2019. The advantages of using the OECD
methodology are that: (a) it provides a systematic and
integrated view of agriculture support policies and programs
(not limited to the more traditional public expenditure
reviews or rate of protection); (b) given the large number
of countries using this same methodology to measure support
estimates, an immediate benchmarking is possible across a
large set of comparators; and (c) the methodology is simple
and can be integrated into the agriculture public policy
analysis conducted by the Government and other stakeholders.
The methodology also has some disadvantages and limitations,
mainly: (a) while it quantifies the level of support
provided to producers and consumers, it does not further
disaggregate support received by type of agricultural
producers (small-scale, large-scale; family farm,
commercial) or consumers; (b) since the estimates are based
on the monetary value of budget and price support,
non-monetary support, like the quality of policies, is not
captured (e.g., the methodology is able to identify how much
policy/program support is invested in land administration
efforts, but unable to qualify the impact (quality) of those
policies/programs). This assessment aims to support the
Angolan Government in reviewing its agriculture policies and
programs, in particular to: (a) provide new estimates and a
new approach to assess sector support for policy
decision-making; (b) allow for benchmarking agriculture
support policies with a large global database of countries
using the same estimate methodology; and (c) help kickstart
a policy dialogue on realigning agriculture policies and
programs in Angola towards greater sector competitiveness
and fast economic recovery from the coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) pandemic, increased food security and nutrition
outcomes, and climate sustainability through a build back
better approach. |
