| Summary: | The World Bank and FAO teamed up with
the Government of Tanzania to produce the country’s first
agricultural public expenditure review (PER) since the
launch of the country’s second agriculture sector
development program (ASDP II). After outlining the role and
performance of the sector (crop, livestock, fisheries, and
forestry) in Tanzania and its main policy frameworks, this
report uses historical data from 2017 to 2022 to review the
level and composition of public expenditure. It then
analyzes its allocative efficiency, effectiveness and
alignment with the Government’s strategic sectoral goals as
defined in Tanzania Vision 2025 and the ASDP II. To do so,
it combines a price incentive analysis on key value chains,
thematic deep dives on strategic areas for the government
(irrigation, agricultural knowledge system, seed system,
climate change adaptation), and a coherence analysis. The
report unveils that agricultural public budget mostly
targets public goods in Tanzania, but at a level too
critically low for these to materialize and support
sustainable productivity growth and job creation. Detailed
actionable recommendations are proposed for the government
to improve spending on the agricultural sector to leverage
further its growth potential. |
