Abstract:
The Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan (ASSP) for the period 2015/16 to 2019/20 was developed following a comprehensive review of the Agriculture Sector Development Strategy and Investment Plan (DSIP) for the period 2010/11 to 2014/15 that was conducted in 2015. The review identified some implementation challenges, lessons learnt, opportunities, emerging issues and generated key recommendations to guide future action. The ASSP also takes into account the development priorities in the National Development Plan (NDP) II and is structured in six chapters as follows: the background to the agriculture sector; situational analysis; the strategic interventions of the sector during the plan period; institutional arrangements for implementation of the ASSP; the financing strategy; and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) arrangements.
