This document summarizes the findings of a study on the impact of public finance management on agricultural spending in Ethiopia. The study examined budget planning and formulation processes at both the federal and local levels. At the federal level, the study found that sectoral planning and budgeting are done independently without considering intersectoral relationships. Local level planning of programs like the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) and Other Food Security Programs (OFSP) was also examined. The capacity for economic analysis and prioritizing projects in both agricultural planning and budgeting was found to be limited.

The presentation illustrates the FAO right to food work in Zanzibar from 2006 to 2012. After a short overview of the nutrition and food insecurity situation in the country, it explains the process of policy assistance in Zanzibar and the most salient right to food elements of the Zanzibar Food Security and Nutrition Policy and Programme of 2008 and of the Zanzibar Food Security and Nutrition Act of 2011, which states what the right to food means in the national context, and explicitly recognises the obligations of the State to respect, protect and fulfil the right to food. Finally, it presents the main challenges specific to the right to food and the lessons for providing policy assistance in the country.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

• MoFED does not compare impact and return across projects to
make budget decisions.
• Selection among projects is done independently of budget
formulation and bases on sector development programs and
PASDEP.
PASDEP
• The link between outcome and targets in PASDEP is weak
• Related to PASDEP is the Macro‐Economic Fiscal Framework and
hence the capacity to do that central framework
• Sector development programs are developed and managed by the
Federal Government.

• MoARD, in most cases does not apply standard economic and
financial analyses to make a selection among competing
projects.

• There is a general, albeit questionable, assumption that the
benefit of some proposed project can be scrutinized without
utilizing standard techniques.
• Reliance on subjective assessment

• Lack of unifying technical methodology in prioritizing has

duplication of efforts
duplication of efforts

19. Agriculture and Rural Development Planning: Findings
from Focus Groups
• M ARD’ programming offices’ general focus appears to be
MoARD’s i ffi ’ lf b
designing day‐to‐day work plans and, give insufficient
attention to projects design.
• In the less likely event that these units have come up with
involved project plans, their contents have been broadly
involved project plans their contents have been broadly
unoriginal, and with extensive similarities with better
designed project plans.
• The capacity of sector ministries, including MoARD, in linking
budgets with physical outcomes, at the end of every fiscal
year, is negligible, while MoFED, itself, lacks the capacity to do
an involved project appraisal.
INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE – ETHIOPIA STRATEGY SUPPORT PROGRAM
20. Local Level Planning: PSNP and OFSP
• A series of local administrative structures – “Food Security Task
Forces” ‐ have been established to assist in the selection of public
works projects, to liaise with programme staff, to keep records,
p j , p g , p ,
monitor implementation and identify households who should
receive benefits
• There has been a relatively high level of beneficiary involvement in
the PSNP; between 20 and 30 percent of households report being
involved in the selection of public works activities.
• Between 85 and 90 percent of households perceive that their
community has benefitted from the construction or rehabilitation
of roads, schools and soil and water conservation
,
INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE – ETHIOPIA STRATEGY SUPPORT PROGRAM
21. Local Level Planning for Other Programs:
Findings from Focus Groups
• Capacity constraints are more severe at smaller units of
administration (Woreda, Kebele).
( , )
• With hundreds of Woreda units dispersed across the country,
neither MoFED, nor regional finance and agricultural bureaus
neither MoFED nor regional finance and agricultural bureaus
are equipped with the capacity to appraise, monitor or
evaluate projects handled at the Woreda level
• Woreda planning units claim “the capacity of MoFED to
scrutinize the execution of projects and its push for efficient
utilization of financial resources is withered”.
INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE – ETHIOPIA STRATEGY SUPPORT PROGRAM
22. Local Level Planning for Other Programs:
Findings from Focus Groups (cont.)
• Little attention paid for need assessment at Woreda level (reflect
national priority even if not fit woreda needs/ incentive skewed to
budget good performers)
• Even in a best‐performing Woreda unit, both contemporaneous and
inter‐temporal linkages were missing.
• Concerns of detractors cannot be readily dismissed (political
considerations…)
• Excessive expectations on weredas performance without the
necessary accompanying resources.
INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE – ETHIOPIA STRATEGY SUPPORT PROGRAM
23. Conclusions
• The merging of MoF and MEDaC may have led to long‐
terms policy issues being sidelined.
• The discussions justify the need to internalize inter‐sector
linkages.
• Wider participation of stakeholders in the budget
formulation process is essential (particularly by NBE, FRCA)
• Curbing delays in reporting, building the system of
monitoring and evaluation will be instrumental in
tabulating physical outcomes
t b l ti h i l t
INTERNATIONAL FOOD POLICY RESEARCH INSTITUTE – ETHIOPIA STRATEGY SUPPORT PROGRAM
24. Conclusions (2)
• High staff turn‐over calls for an appropriate incentive scheme or
employing staff as consultants
• Restructuring planning and programming offices at line ministries
by creating capacity.
– Mechanisms of prioritization, linkages and coordination
– Linking 5, 3 and 1 year plans technically/measurably [Annual‐MEFF‐
PASDEP.]
• Weak relationship between federal ministries and regional Woreda
Weak relationship between federal ministries and regional, Woreda

– Improving the process of formulation of MEFF

– Improving inter‐sectoral linkages and appropriate planning

26. Conclusions: What Needs to be Done (cont.)
• Strong relation between MOFED and MoARD on:
• Lack of skilled experts and high staff turnover in both.
• Weak relationship between MoFED and MoARD on technical level
level,
• Weak relationship between Federal ministries and the regional
bureaus and down to the Woreda level.
• Not enough attention is given to planning and programming
sections at ministerial levels.
• Poor quality information/data and time concept in budget
preparation and

• Poor accountability
• Urgent need to build capacity at MoARD and MoFED
Urgent need to build capacity at MoARD and MoFED
• Need technical experts (collaborative MA/MSc)
