Three major activities:

1. Agriculture sector performance assessment (adapted CAADP M&E framework to Mozambique)2. Agric. Information needs assessment (and reinforcement of the Information management system)3. Support to CAADP process4. OTHER activities: Irrigation Strategy development and support to MINAG in preparatory steps towards implementation of the IS (2010)

(1) Agric. Sector Performance

Activity (1)

• Sub-activities: Agreeing on assessment indicators; participatory data collection and report writing; sharing preliminary results; launching and stakeholders policy dialogue

• Research question: What progress has Mozambique made toward achieving the CAADP agricultural targets (allocating 10% of national budget to agriculture, 6% AgGDP growth)?

Outputs

• Annual outlook report 2010, focusing on Agric. Expenditure Review (2008-2009)

• Annual outlook report 2011, focusing on Trade

• Policy briefs based on 2010 & 2011 reports

• Validation and Policy dialogue events

Information Needs assessment

Activity (2)• Sub-activities: Sharing the

concept note with MINAG/DE; sharing the draft with key stakeholders; submitting the final version to MINAG/DE

• Research question: To what extent has the MINAG/IMS been responsive to the previously (2005) identified information needs of MINAG (based on the system objectives)?

OutputOutput• An Information note,

highlighting:

- Information cycles - Data collection and validation issues - Fluxes of INFO ( ) - Human capital development - Structural capital development - INFO users satisfaction

Adapted (Moz) CAADP M&E Framework

(1) enabling environment (macro and agric. sector); (2) implementation process; (3) commitments and investments;(4) agricultural growth performance; (5) agricultural trade performance; (6) poverty, hunger, and food and nutrition security

• Discussion paper (Irrigation strategy)

Some challenges in implementing IWMI led activities…

• Limited (access to) data sources• Quality data issues• Difficulties in implementing joint research/ capacity

building activities with some local partners• Difficulties in implementing (consistent) policy

dialogue • Limited sharing of research outputs (RO) among

decision makers • Limited use of RO in planning and decision making

processes
