Introduction and objectives • Learned about growth and poverty reduction in Africa in recent years, and CAADP is implicated • Question: how has CAADP actually contributed to these achievements? What are the impacts? • Objective of study: assess impact of CAADP on: • Government agriculture expenditure, agricultural growth and productivity, income, and nutrition
Fundamentals of impact evaluation direct effect indirect effect Outcome CAADP Y XOUT XCAADP XCAADP&OUT Total Effect = direct effect + indirect effect (control for XCAADP, XOUT, XCAADP&OUT) Key Assumption: Xi is known, observed, and used
Launch of CAADP A G B Joint sector review &mutual accountability Analysis of growth options, investment, & capacity needs CAADP country-level process & conceptual framework C F Consultations with stakeholders and validation of results Financing and implementation of plan and programs D E Preparation and signing of compact by all stakeholders Preparation of investment plan & programs
Launch of CAADP A G B Joint sector review &mutual accountability Analysis of growth options, investment, & capacity needs CAADP country-level process & conceptual framework C F Consultations with stakeholders and validation of results Financing and implementation of plan and programs Two definitions of CAADP: • Whether signed compact (0=no, 1=yes) • Level reached: 0=precompact 1=compact 2=NAIP 3=1 ext fund 4=>1 ext fund D E Preparation and signing of compact by all stakeholders Preparation of investment plan & programs Assumption CAADP involves processes and actions that take time to manifest. The longer or more intensive a country engages, the greater the likelihood of success
Conceptsand methods • Identify factors that determine a country’s decision to implement CAADP (d): • whether it signs a CAADP compact (d1 = 1,0) • level of implementation reached (d2 = 0,1,2,3,4) • Controlling for above factors as well as those that affect realization of outcomes, estimate impact of implementing CAADP on annual change in: • Agricultural performance: agriculture expenditure, agricultural growth and land & labor productivity • Broader outcomes: income (GDP per capita), nutrition (prevalence of adult undernourishment)
Data sources and estimation • Data from various international and national sources from 2001 to 2014 • Use panel-data regression methods to estimate treatment effects of CAADP and deal with several relevant econometric issues • Use different model specifications to evaluate sensitivity of results to different issues and assumptions generate greater confidence in results
Determinants of CAADP implementation *, **, and *** =statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively
Determinants of CAADP implementation • Regarding compact signing, variables representing: • Role of agriculture, political will, peer pressure, government capacity, and financial crisis have positive and statistically significant influence • Negotiation posture has negative influence, likely due to alternative (non-agriculture) sources of development • Citizens’ demands and capacity are not significant • For level of implementation reached: • Only peer pressure (stage of implementation of neighbor) and government capacity (how long minister of agriculture has been in place) are important *, **, and *** =statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively
Est. impacts of CAADP, % change (2001-14) Interpretation: percentage change in the outcome in countries that are implementing CAADP, compared to the general trend in countries that are not implementing CAADP *, **, and *** =statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively
Est. impacts of CAADP, % change (2001-14) Puzzling impacts Largest significant impacts No significant impacts *, **, and *** =statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively
Est. impacts of CAADP, % change (2001-14) • Signing a compact alone has no significant impact • Negative impact on expenditure substitution effect, largest for level 4, which has more than one external sources of funding • Positive impacts on agricultural value added: level 4=17%; level 3=11%; level 2=7%; level 1=9% • Mixed impact on land and labor productivity: positive, but negative for level 2 (small number of countries) • General insignificant impact on income and nutrition positive gains in production/productivity yet to translate into broader positive outcomes Puzzling impacts Largest significant impacts No significant impacts *, **, and *** =statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively
Est. impacts of CAADP, % change (2001-14) *, **, and *** =statistical significance at the 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively • Strongly positive impact on income for early implementers at level 4 broader benefits of reforms take time to manifest • Counterintuitive impact on nutrition reflects weaker emphasis on nutrition in early NAIPs compared to later NAFSIPs (FS = food security)
Overall implications • Because CAADP is a framework for inclusive participation, ownership, evidence-based policy making, and donor alignment for an agricultural-led development • it takes time to gain buy-in from all stakeholders to safeguard successful implementation • as such, finding a shortcut is unlikely • We can expect (greater) benefits from processes that include a systematic effort to • identify strategies that are likely to work (as expected of the growth options and investment and capacity requirements analyses) • articulate those strategies in a plan that is adequately funded and implemented accordingly • to monitor and evaluate progress to continuously refine the investments and programs Thank you
