Resource information
Ghana, like many other African
countries, had made a commitment in 2003 to allocate at
least ten percent of their national budgetary resources to
develop the agricultural sector by 2008, following the
adoption of the Comprehensive African Agriculture
Development Programme (CAADP), with an aim towards realizing
food security and poverty reduction. This Agriculture Public
Expenditure Review (AgPER) for Ghana analyzes data on public
spending from both government and donor sources to assess:
1) the alignment between expenditure patterns within the
agricultural sector and stated policy priorities; and 2) the
effectiveness of public spending by comparing spending
against results. The outputs of the review include a
comprehensive agricultural expenditure assessment to help
provide a solid foundation for carrying out specialized
studies, such as Public Expenditure Tracking Surveys (PETS),
and the establishment of the levels and composition of
public expenditure in the selected subsectors
