GTP 2

GTP-2 has 5 high level objectives for agriculture

4

GTP-2: overview

Accelerated growth in agricultural production with a gradual shift towards high value crops

1

Elimination of national food gap (and, ultimately, actual contribution by the agricultural sector to national capital formation)

3

Sustainable, broad based, and inclusive agricultural development

2

Establishment of a market system that benefits farmers and non-farm actors

4

GTP2 objectives

for agriculture:

GTP-2: overview

What is new?

7

GTP-2: new areas of focus

GTP-2 builds on and takes forward the first 5 year plan. But some new areas of emphasis have emerged

• Continued emphasis on high (8%) growth rate in agricultural production, but with a focus on strategic crops—identified as key food crops, export/high value commodities (coffee, spices, horticulture, livestock); and, industrial inputs

• Continued emphasis on natural resources development, particularly irrigation

• Continued emphasis on ensuring food security and inclusiveness in the growth process—addressing the needs of the food insecure, pastoralists/agro-pastoralists, women, youth

• Enhanced focus on rural employment generation

• Integration of climate adaptation and mitigation issues with specific objectives defined for climate smart agriculture

• Enhanced focus on promoting mechanized agriculture

• Customizing agricultural services to different contexts and ensuring quality of services beyond increasing coverage

• Inclusion of a transformation agenda that will receive dedicated attention and will be monitored separately

The Agricultural Transformation Agenda

Definition

Defining Agricultural Transformation

Developing the Agricultural Transformation Agenda

Implementation & monitoring

2

The agricultural transformation agenda is a set of interventions that unlock

systemic bottlenecks within the agricultural sector to catalyze transformation from a

subsistence oriented, low output agricultural sector to a high performing sector well

integrated into the national economy – and to do so in an environmentally sustainable and

inclusive manner.

9

The Agricultural Transformation Agenda is developed around interventions

(deliverables) to unlock systemic bottlenecks identified though:

• Analysis of critical issues that constrain agricultural development; consideration of in-

country and international best practices and innovative approaches to addressing

such issues as well as extensive consultation with different stakeholders; and,

development of strategies based on such analysis and consultation.

• Building on strategies and in-depth consideration of systemic bottlenecks,

development of various deliverables. These deliverables constitute the Agricultural

Transformation Agenda.

Multiple stakeholders implement the Agricultural Transformation Agenda: While

implementation is coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture, the various deliverables of

the Agricultural Transformation Agenda are implemented by diverse stakeholders. ATA

is responsible for monitoring its progress. For each deliverable, annual targets and

quarterly milestones are established, which form the basis for monitoring.

Alignment with national policies

4 The Agricultural Transformation Agenda supports implementation of key

strategies for the agricultural sector (i.e., the second 5 year growth and

transformation plan)

Agricultural transformation in Ethiopia

Increase crop and livestock production and productivity

Enhance implementation capacity

Inclusive Growth

• Gender equality• Targeted livelihood support (for

selected population groups including youth)

• Nutrition

• Crop protection and health

“Anchor”

Deliverable

The Agricultural Commercialization Cluster Initiative as a means of integrating the solutions within the 30 Program areas. Focus on measurable impacts on smallholder farmers working on specific high priority commodities in clearly identified geographies.

The Agricultural Transformation Agenda is currently being developed across 30 key program within four strategic pillars

Defining and monitoring the Agricultural Transformation

Agenda

Piloting

3 • In a narrow set of prioritized interventions that

are deemed to be time sensitive, ATA takes the

lead in piloting a solution and hands over a

successful pilot to key partners for scale-up

• In an even narrower set of prioritized

interventions where there is time urgency and

lack of capacity in the system, ATA has taken the

responsibility to execute an intervention at scale

while building the capacity of the long term owner

in the system for hand over

Implementation support

• ATA provides owners of prioritized interventions

in the Agricultural Transformation Agenda with

support in three key areas: (a) Strategy

development, (b) Detailed problem solving, (c)

Capacity building and (d) Coordination support

• ATA has worked with various stakeholders to

identify a set of targeted and high impact

interventions (deliverables) that constitute the

agricultural transformation agenda.

• ATA assists deliverable owners to provide

accurate reporting on developments related to

the Agricultural Transformation Agenda;

• ATA provides quarterly reporting on the

Agricultural Transformation Agenda to the

Agricultural Transformation Council
