MEDIUM TERM AGRICULTURE SECTOR INVESTMENT

PLAN (METASIP)

2009 – 2015

VOLUME 2: PROGRAMME OF ACTIONS

2. Continuous review and refinement of sub-activities by MDAs as they acquire deeper understanding and appreciation of objectives of all programmes under the sector plan with

respect to their expected levels of participation.

3. MDAs and other implementing agencies would have to set priorities for their sub-activities to ensure that the most relevant and achievable ones are implemented at reasonable cost.

4. The tendency to encounter sub-activity duplication and overlapping by the implementing agencies is probable, annual plans would be scrutinized to avoid this.

5. MDAs and other implementing agencies would have to provide quarterly implementation reports describing the extent by which objectives have been achieved and actual

expenditure incurred.

6. MoFA would commission a baseline survey to determine the cost of investment by the private sector in responding appropriately to the objectives of the agriculture sector plan.

The total cost shows the total estimated financial investment needed for the agriculture sector to meet its public expenditure for the seven (7) – year implementation period of the sector

plan. However, there will be the need to revise this budget to reflect future changes in macroeconomic conditions or new targets of the sector plan.

INTRODUCTION

This second volume of the Medium Term Agriculture Sector Investment Plan (METASIP) presents the program of actions. The program of actions focuses on the components, outputs

and activities, the time frame for implementing the activities, indicative costs as well as the implementing agencies in a logical framework.

Results of costing the plan indicate that in order to achieve the objectives and the expenditure estimates of this sector plan, prudent management of resources in all the implementing

agencies should be ensured. A clear understanding of activities, sub-activities, expected outputs and objectives should be achieved by each implementing agency before disbursement of

implementation funds. This will improve difficiencies that may exist in the current costing.

Sub-activities would be continuously monitored to ensure that, they are in line with main activities and outputs already described under the programmes of the sector plan.

In this direction, the following key actions would be taken:

1. The implementation monitoring committee would continuously question the justification for activities defined for implementation by all the implementing agencies and to ensure

that the funds provided are actually utilized to implement the most relevant ones.
