Agriculture Sector Plan Volume 2 Page 4 Introduction This implementation plan and monitoring framework supplements the governance, institutional and strategic frameworks laid out in ASP Volume 1. It is intended to guide MAF and its partner agencies in ASP program delivery, monitoring and evaluation and resource mobilization. It should be used in conjunction with the ASP Volume 1 document, which contains the background, rationale and description of the proposed strategic intervention areas. The core of the implementation plan is built on 4 consolidated costed action plans to deliver the ASP End of Sector Plan Outcomes (ESPO) together with 4 monitoring frameworks. These action plans include itemized indicative costs to deliver activities leading to the outputs and intermediate outcomes in the ASP strategic policy areas. The plan also indicates the lead and partner agencies who have roles and responsibilities for delivering the specific outputs and potential sources of funding. The implementation plan was developed during the formulation of the ASP in early 2016 when many resource costs are at best indicative; it does not therefore represent a rigid blueprint. Indeed, it should be regularly reviewed and updated as more information becomes available on resource costs, mobilization, allocation and commitment. It should also be reviewed and amended following annual reviews of the ASP, particularly if program priorities are adjusted and/or financial resources are either unavailable or additional resources are mobilized. It is intended that MAF and other lead agencies with key roles and responsibilities for implementing the ASP will include in their Corporate/Agency Plans and Operational Plans clear indication of how they will deliver the strategic outputs contributing to ASP intermediate outcomes and ESPOs. Program Delivery With many agencies, both government and non-government, expected to be involved in delivering ASP outputs, successful implementation will require strong leadership, good coordination, sound processes and effective use of resources. MAF is the lead agency for the agriculture sector and thus the MAF Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is the senior responsible officer to ensure that the ASP is efficiently and effectively delivered on time and within available budget resources. The Agriculture Sector Steering Committee (ASSC) will provide oversight, guidance and support for ASP implementation. The ACC will also have the role of approving policies, business principles, projects and programs for submission to the Cabinet Development Committee (CDC). A strengthened Agriculture Sector Coordination Unit together with four Working Groups focused around the ASP four policy objectives will play critical roles to facilitate joint activity planning, coordination of delivery and monitoring of progress on implementation and in meeting ASP performance targets. The WGs will facilitate harnessing the relevant skills and expertise required from within MAF, other public sector agencies and externally, as is needed. To provide transparency, the ASCU will be responsible for maintaining and distributing minutes of ASSC and WG meetings, including agreed action items, to all entities involved in implementation. 1 It is anticipated that collaborative delivery of services between government and non-government entities, including the private sector, will be an important modus used to implement the ASP. This will require good stakeholder engagement focused on specific activities. Good accountability and risk management will also be essential. 1 See ASP Volume 1 for details on the governance structure and composition of the ASCC and the 4 WGs Agriculture Sector Plan Volume 2 Page 5 Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is a critical part of the ASP management and implementation cycle. If addressed rigorously it should allow for adaptive management and improvement through the life of the ASP to support effective delivery of outputs and outcomes. It will also facilitate reporting and communication of progress to partners and other stakeholders. Effective M&E will require substantial commitment of human and financial resources, firstly, to ensure that baselines and realistic targets are established for all outputs and outcomes at intervention onset and then to make sure a workable monitoring process is established and supported throughout the implementation period. Monitoring, evaluation and reporting processes under the ASP will cover efficiency (program management and administration), effectiveness (delivery of outputs and outcomes) and impact (development change over time). An appropriate level of budget for M&E therefore needs to be anticipated in the ASP resource mobilization cost. The ASP monitoring framework identifies key indicators and lines of evidence at output and outcome levels to support program performance management. This will provide the tool for guiding corrective adjustments to activities, reallocating resources, and reevaluating program objectives or underlying assumptions. The monitoring framework will also serve as the basic accountability tool for developing an annual review and evaluation approach for the ASP. The monitoring framework includes the results chain, performance indicators, and means of verification. The scheduling and responsibility for data collection is also made clear. While some baselines and targets have been set, others will need to be established early in the implementation process. Targets should be established in a participatory way with relevant key stakeholders, facilitated by the four WGs. The ASP under sector policy objective 1 includes activities to strengthen agricultural statistics systems including data collection, systematization, analysis and reporting. These activities should provide a means to supply better indicator data to strengthen the monitoring process. Monitoring will be managed and coordinated by the ASCU and will rely on good cooperation and support from all agencies that collect and manage data sources relevant to the performance of the agriculture sector and implementation of the ASP. The ASCU with support from the 4 WGs will prepare regular six monthly ASP implementation monitoring reports. An annual review of the ASP will be carried each year in December with the Annual Review Report being tabled to the ASSC for approval no later than end of February of the subsequent year. Following the review the implementation plan may be adjusted, as necessary and agreed by the ASSC, to keep it focused and relevant. An independent evaluation will be carried out in 2020 which will provide guidance for the new phase of implementation from 2021 onwards. To ensure good communication of the ASP progress to partners and other stakeholders all reports will be circulated and made available on the MAF website. The ASP identifies the national and sector development outcomes that it is seeking to contribute to. It has been developed using a program logic model, which intends to make clear the cause-and-effect relationships between activities, outputs, intermediate outcomes and longer-term impacts (see Figure 1). Table 1 below shows the alignment of the ASP Outcomes and Indicators to the SDS 2016-2020.

The cost to deliver End of Sector Plan Outcome (ESPO) 1 (Policy Deepening and Sector Coordination) is approximately SAT$5 million; to deliver ESPO2 (Improved Food Security and Nutrition through an increased supply and consumption of competitively priced domestically produced food) will require approximately SAT$57.6 million; to deliver ESPO3 (Enabling the Private Sector) will cost about SAT$39.7 million; and to deliver ESPO4 (Sustainable Resource Management and Climate and Disaster Resilience) will require just under SAT$15 million (see Figure 2). The forecasted annual implementation costs over the five-year period are shown in Figure 3 below. Indicative annual implementation costs rise from estimated SAT$, 22,767,000 in year 1 to peak at SAT26,406,000 in year 3 and thereafter decline to reach SAT21,936,000 in year 5. It is anticipated that MAF core budget allocation will cover around 57 percent of the overall indicative implementation costs. Other lead agency budgets (e.g. MCIL, MNRE, MFAT, SBS and MWCSD) should provide additional resources. The cost of implementing the ASP strategic programs will be shared among national budget and development partners and private sector investment. 4,914,000 57,625,000 39,705,000 14,632,000 Indicative funding requirement to deliver the ASP End of Sector Plan Outcomes SPO1 SPO2 SPO3 SPO4 Agriculture Sector Plan Volume 2 Page 9 Outcome maps, costed action plans and monitoring frameworks The following section presents matrices which detail the outcome maps, costed action plans and monitoring frameworks for the ASP four strategic policy objectives: Strategic Policy Objective 1: To ensure a priority focused agriculture sector operating within a stable and coherent enabling policy and legislative framework Strategic Policy Objective 2: To ensure an increased stable supply and consumption of domestically produced nutritious food products for both rural and urban communities Strategic Policy Objective 3: To enhance private sector capacity in improving production, productivity, product quality, value adding and marketing Strategic Policy Objective 4: To strengthen capacities in rural communities, land owners, farmers and fishers to use natural resources in a sustainable way and increase sector resilience to natural disasters and climate change 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 S A T $ m il li o n s Figure 2: Indicative annual funding requirement to deliver the ASP ESPO1 ESPO2 ESPO3 ESPO4 TOTAL Agriculture Sector Plan Volume 2 Page 10 Strategic Policy Objective 1 Agriculture Sector Plan Volume 2 Page 11 ASP Outcome Map – Strategic Policy Objective 1: To ensure a priority focused agriculture sector operating within a stable and coherent enabling policy and legislative framework END OF SECTOR PLAN OUTCOME 1: Sector coordination improved and investment in food security and inclusive commercial agriculture/fisheries production systems increased INTERMEDIATE OUTCOMES (1.1) A well-coordinated and implemented ASP (1.2) The ASP strategic programs are adequately resourced for successful implementation (1.3) A coordinated multisector delivery of the support to ASP outputs and outcomes (1.4) A strengthened evidence-base for policy decision making, planning and monitoring the ASP (1.5) The MAF and relevant partner agencies have an appropriate capacity 2 to fulfill their roles in implementing the ASP (1.6) Key policies and regulatory frameworks relevant to the agriculture sector are aligned and supporting the ASP SOs including environmental sustainability, system resilience and preparedness OUTPUTS Strengthened TOR for ASCU approved by ASSC first meeting DP funding well aligned to the ASP strategic framework and support ASP programs MAF Corporate Plan completed before end 2016 Agriculture statistics strategy developed, published and being implemented by end 2016 Capacity assessment undertaken with recommendations being implemented by mid 2017 Relevant policies, legislation and regulations reviewed and revised or renewed to better support ASP Outcomes ASCU required financial and human resources mobilized MTEF matching ASP costs within available resources established Annual operational plans for all MAF Divisions prepared and approved by November preceding year of operation A regular supply of relevant agriculture data collected, analyzed and made available according to an agreed agricultural statistics calendar Staff of relevant agencies have improved knowledge and skills to support delivery of the ASP Impact of current policy and regularity settings on priority value chain investments, efficiency and competiveness established ASSC TOR strengthened and agreed by CDC Agriculture sector investment program available for consideration by CDC Key lead agency plans include relevant strategies/ actions/ budgets by end 2017 Regular 3 monthly ASSC meetings held Additional funding support for ASP identified and secured Market driven integrated value chain upgrading programs for priority commodities included in the PSIP Minutes and reports prepared and circulated within 2 weeks following ASSC meeting Regular WG monthly meetings held Reports prepared and circulated within 1 week following WG meeting Bi-monthly monitoring updated database and report prepared Annual Review Report approved 2 Capacity refers to human resources skills, knowledge, preparedness and infrastructure Agriculture Sector Plan Volume 2 Page 12 ASP Costed Action Plans End of Sector Plan Outcome 1: Sector coordination improved and investment in food security and inclusive commercial agriculture/fisheries production systems increased Activity Milestone/Target/Year Resources Required (year) Total Source Responsibility 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 Outcome 1.1 : A well-coordinated and implemented ASP 443,000 318,000 323,000 318,000 333,000 1,735,000 Outputs 1.1.1: Prepare new TOR for the ASCU Strengthened TOR for ASCU approved by ASSC first meeting -
