This document summarizes a review of initiatives that collect data on agricultural public expenditures (AgPE) across countries. It finds that while there are many efforts, it was unclear how they relate and what gaps remain. The objective is to provide an overview of the different initiatives to identify complementarities, challenges, and how collaboration could be improved. It analyzes initiatives by geographic scope, sectors covered, and types of data. The review finds some depths like disaggregation are more limited and proposes strategic options like strengthening coordination, collaboration, data access, and analytical capacity to better track AgPE globally. Next steps include finalizing the report and convening discussions on implementing recommendations.

African countries have diversified both their exports and trade partners over the last decade, African agricultural trade still suffers from structural problems as well as exogenous shocks. Against this backdrop, the 2021 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM) analyzes continental and regional trends in African agricultural trade flows and policies. The report finds that many African countries continue to enjoy the most success in global markets with cash crops and niche products. At the intra-African level, countries are becoming more interconnected in trade of key commodities, but there remain many potential but unexploited trade relationships. The report examines the livestock sector in detail, finding that despite its important role in Africa, the sector is concentrated in low value- added products that are informally traded. The report also examines trade integration in the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), which remains limited due to factors including tariffs, nontariff measures, poor transport infrastructure, and weak institutions. Finally, the report discusses the implications of two major events affecting African trade in 2020 and 2021: the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Review of Initiatives to Assemble Data on Agricultural Public Expenditures
1. RESAKSS Annual Conference
2013 Theme: Achieving the Maputo Declaration Target
and Prioritising Public Agricultural Expenditures
12-13 November, 2013
A Systematic Review of Data and
Analytical Initiatives on
Agricultural Public Expenditures
Presented by Tewodaj Mogues (Project Manager), IFPRI
Paper produced by Richard Anson (Consultant)
(w/ assistance from Tsegaye Anduanbessa & Eduardo Zegarra)
2. Background to the Review
• Importance of public expenditures in agriculture in Africa
(and beyond), including by catalysing private ag.
investments
• This in turn points to importance of properly measuring
quantity (e.g. the CAADP 10%) and quality of such public
spending—including in standardised ways that allow
comparison across countries and over time
• Various organisations have recognised need for compiling
disaggregated and cross-country public expenditure
datasets: FAO, IDB, IFPRI, IMF, OECD, UN, WB, etc.
• Lots of tremendous efforts undertaken in this regard, but:
Until this review, unclear how these efforts related to each
other, what the complementarities and remaining gaps are,
how the methodologies compare
3. Motivation for and Objective of the Review
• What are the key features of each effort? Do they produce
different AgPE data/statistics because of different methods?
Same data, in that case is there duplication? Which dataset/
study is useful for what purposes and for which users?
• Discussion in June 2013 at an IFPRI-OECD organised
workshop on agricultural policy metrics brought these
concerns to the surface
• Objective of this review:
• produce a structured, systematic overview of the different initiatives that
capture Ag. PE data across countries, to begin to answer above
questions
• identify the key complementarities, challenges, and value-additions of
each data initiative, so that initiative managers can collectively chart out
a way for a „community of practice‟, for efficient collaboration and crossfertilisation of the different initiatives
4. State of the Review
• IFPRI / PIM (CRP2) commissioned a study to produce such
a review
• Study carried out by Dr. Richard Anson (external
consultant, deep earlier experience with AgPE issues)
• Very valuable input by managers of each data initiative
• Currently in draft form (copy shared with you), plans to
use it as a tool for improved and increased coordination
and information flow regarding cross-country AgPE data
compilation feedback from you very welcome!
• Criteria for inclusion:
• For Data initiatives: Ongoing; AgPE data for at least 10 countries
• For Analytical initiatives: Ongoing; large-scale, closely tied to data

9. Where to Go from Here?
• Difficult (perhaps even unrealistic and undesireable) to try to achieve
all types of depth in one single data initiative
• Each type of depth has its distinct value for different types of policy
analysis
• But there is scope for improving each DAI—given its purpose and
ambitions
• Some DAIs are also relatively similar to each other—here, benefits
from going beyond individual improvement of each DAI, to joint
collaboration
• Sustainability of cross-country Ag PE database compilation: 6 of 14
initiatives are dependent on funds for time-bound projects
• Finally, some “depths” are clearly more underprovided than others—
need for more work to enable tracking ag. PE along these depths
10. Strategic Options: Strengthening
DAIs, and Coordination among Them
Information
DAI
Feedback
• Intra- and inter-agency co-ordination and
collaboration
DAI
• First step—Co-ordination:
Standards
Resource generation
Datasets
•
•
•
•
•
•
making methodologies transparent
making datasets publicly available
information flow
seeking external feedback from experts and users
mutual feedback / peer review
through creation of Ag PE community-ofpractice
• Possible second step—Collaboration:
• developing shared standards
• pooling expertise, resources and data for efficient
creation of joint databases and analytical studies
• generate new funds together for joint efforts
• to be considered: an Africa-focused subgroup?
11. Strategic Options: Strengthening
“Backward and Forward Linkages”
Min. of
Agric.
etc.
Min. of
Fin.;
Planning
Users: Countrylevel analysts
Crosscountry
DAIs
Users:
Analysts, Donors;
Supranational
policymakers; etc.
Civil
Society;
Media; etc.
•
Strengthening country-level expenditure reporting systems—What
ongoing support is already being provided? How can it be improved?
Strengthening agriculture-specific versus general reporting systems?
•
Analytical capacity support for „frontline‟ users of country-level data
•
Building demand for cross-country databases on the part of countrylevel policy analysts and decisionmakers
12. Some Next Steps Planned
• Finalise the review report (including based on your feedback!)
• Follow-up meeting to the June workshop will take
place this December, to discuss putting in place the
„community-of-practice‟ based on the
recommendations of this review report and the
outcomes of the December meeting
• Possible first-step outputs from the coordination of
the group:
•
•
•
Better and clearer data documentation across DAIs
More easily accessible data (perhaps through joint website linking to
datasets and studies in respective organisations)
Easily digestible comparison of commonalities and differences in the
methodologies of the DAIs
• Would an Africa sub-group be useful / add value? We will take
your views to the December meeting
Thank you!
