PART II: INSTITUTIONAL ARCHITECUTRE COUNTRY SUMMARIES ETHIOPIA 1. Guiding Policy Framework The Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), serves as Ethiopia’s national development plan. Under GTP, there are a number of sector specific plans, including the Agricultural Transformation Plan (ATP). The Agricultural Sector Policy and Investment Framework (PIF), enacted in 2010, is Ethiopia’s guiding NAIP, designed to achieve eight percent annual growth in agricultural productivity. The PIF operationalized the CAADP Compact, and provides a ten-year strategic framework for investment and estimates of financing needs. All government food security programs are based on the achievement of the PIF objectives. 2. Policy Development & Coordination The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MoARD) is the primary institution for policy development. It is divided into four state ministries: Agricultural Growth, Sustainable Land Management, Disaster and Risk Management and Food Security, and Livestock Sector Development. The joint government and development partner Rural Development and Food Security Working Group (RED&FS) serves as the primary coordination body for PIF (discussed in Section 6. Mutual Accountability). Within MoARD, task forces operate under each of the MoARD state ministries. These task forces suffer from capacity constraints, including limited financial and human resources. However, technical capacity is effectively boosted by RED&FS, which has technical committees mirroring each of the three task forces. The Planning and Programming Directorate (PPD) is responsible for coordinating projects under the PIF and serves as the PIF secretariat. However, it suffers from a number of capacity constraints in terms of technical skills to conduct policy analysis and staffing and has limited resources to coordinate across ministries. is a parallel and highly functioning companion to MoARD for agricultural policy development called the Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA). ATA was established in 2010 to address systematic bottlenecks in the agriculture sector by supporting and enhancing the capability of MoARD and other public, private, and implementing partners. The ATA has high-level political support and is governed by the Agricultural Transformation Council (ATC), which is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the agency, approving plans and evaluating agency
