| Summary: | This report assesses agriculture
policy support estimates in Mozambique. These estimates
represent the monetary value assigned to different
agriculture support policies and programs using the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)
methodology for 2018. 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.
This assessment aims to support the Mozambique 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 Mozambique
towards greater sector competitiveness and fast economic
recovery from the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic,
increased food security and nutrition outcomes, and climate
sustainability through a build back better approach. |
