  1. Managing for Results Regional Project Implementation Workshop Accra, Ghana 1-4 December 2009

  2. Presentation outline • Global and regional trends • Regional responses • Challenges/Opportunities • Way forward for IFAD • How are we supporting these new approaches? • What kinds of indicators does IFAD use? • To conclude..

  3. Global and regional trends – Agricultural production Good news: rapid increase in agricultural production

  4. Global and regional trends– Population growth Continued but slowing population growth This constitutes a challenge in meeting basic education and health needs of the young

  5. Global and regional trends - Decentralization • Increasing local empowerment but much of WCA is lagging rest of Africa

  6. Global and regional trends - Communications technology • New communications technology – cell phones covering the region

  7. Global and regional trends – ODA Commitments • ODA commitments to agriculture beginning to increase after several years of decline compared to other sectors

  8. Regional responses – R&D • However, increased ODA is not yet reflected in increased agricultural R&D expenditures in most of Africa

  9. Regional responses – National budgets • West and Central Africa countries are gradually meeting Maputo Declaration commitment to allocate at least 10 percent of national budget to agriculture. Agricultural budget as share of total national budget (Source: CAADP, June 2009)

  10. Regional responses – CAADP compacts CAADP compacts have been signed by nine countries: • Benin • Gambia • Ghana • Liberia • Mali • Niger • Nigeria • Sierra Leone • Togo Three more are likely to join this year: • Burkina Faso • Senegal • Guinea

  11. Challenges/Opportunities • Continued global/regional barriers to agricultural trade • Large land investments, at expense of smallholder farmers • Food prices down but expected to remain high and volatile due to: • Shift in diets (meat) • Climate change • Market structure • Biofuels

  12. Challenges/Opportunites – cont’d • Youth issue: • 34% of the population in WCA is aged 10-24 yrs • the medium % of people under 14 yrs is 43% • the population from 15-64 yrs is 53% • Political instability and conflict

  13. Way Forward for IFAD Agriculture is again the focus but with new challenges and approaches • Strive for access to markets • Ensure that poor youth and women participate in agricultural opportunities • Promote institutions and policies that are public/private and owned by rural institutions • Adapt to climate change • Increase funding • Innovative private/public partnerships • Strengthen programme in quality • Mainstream local empowerment process

  14. How are we supporting these new approaches? • CPMT approach supported by: • Results Based-Country Strategic Opportunities Papers (6 to be presentedto IFAD’s Executive Boards in 2010) • Projects (8 to be presented to Executive Boards in 2010) • Strengthened quality at entry review • Direct Supervision • 34 of 47 projects currently directly supervised; • All projects to be directly supervised by 2010 • Project implementation and financial management trainings • KM, innovation and scaling-up • Regional knowledge sharing (FIDAfrique) • Innovation Fair in 2010 • Thematic knowledge products for NRM and climate change in 2101

  15. What kinds of indicators does IFAD use? Indicators monitored quarterly: Better country programme management (Corporate Management Result 1) Better project design (CMR 2) Better supervision and implementation support (CMR 3) • Avg time from project approval to 1st disbursement • Pro-activity index • IFAD performance rated 4 or better out of 6 • % of problem projects on the ongoing portfolio • % of time overrun for ongoing projects • Avg days for processing Withdrawal Applications Better financial resource management (CMR 4) Better human resource management (CMR 5) Better results and risk management (CMR 6) Better administrative efficiency (CMR 7)

  16. Projects which perform well against these indicators Satisfactory project performance over last two years • Niger – PPILDA • Mali – PIDRN • Ghana – RTIMP • Benin – PDRD • Mauritania – PASK • Senegal – PRODAM II

  17. However, we must remember that we are not working together for indicators but for results! What do we do as CPMTs to obtain stronger, faster and more results?
