World Bank Report

NIGER

World Bank Report: Risk Priorities

INCREASED RISK AWARENESS

& CAPACITIES

2 Workshops (with the World Bank)

1 Study on constrains

1 Study on Information systems

1 Capacity Development Seminar

NIGER

Outcomes

PAGRA The Action Plan for Agricultural Risk Management (PAGRA) finalized in 2014

• What is drought and what is dryness in the context of Climate Change

• Difficult access to markets by producers, and to import source markets when drought, make risk difficult to manage

• Very weak financial services market makes access to credit and secure savings very difficult

• Access to information on risks beyond emergencies

NIGER

Way forward: Looking at the constrains behind the risks (component 2 of PAGRA)

No Type of risk Priority based on analysis of severity & frequency

1 Weather risks Droughts and floods

high priority not only because of high levels of losses but also evidence of covariance. El Niño. Other risks which are both infrequent and localised include landslides.

2 Crop and livestock pests and diseases

data available indicates high frequency and anecdotal evidence suggest high negative impact but dearth of data makes quantification of losses difficult

3 Price uncertainty

not highlighted in farmers’ surveys. However, evidence shows need to mitigate intra-seasonal and inter-year price variability. Impact not only on household income but also incentives to adopt yield-enhancing inputs.

4 Inputs risks uncertainty regarding quality low risk in Ethiopia, largely because of market structure. Domestic inputs price less dependent on volatility in global markets than transport costs, especially from ports. Uncertain access remains a challenge – due more to uncertainty in access to inputs credit

ETHIOPIA

Risk Priorities based on analysis of frequency and severity (RAS Workshop in Dec 2015)

Financial tools, which were the main focus during the discussions in the Policy Forum in 2014. The limits and potentialities of insurance.

ETHIOPIA

Discussion with the State Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources (MANR) (RAS Workshop in Dec 2015)

Managing market risks. Contracts with the downstream industry. Commodity exchange structures markets, but only exporting commodities. Commodity reserves were also discussed.

Innovations and information systems as a key ARM tool. Innovative agro-meteorological advice mobiles

ENGAGEMENT WITH ATA/MANR

ATA and State Minister MANR engaged in investing in ARM tool priorities

ETHIOPIA

Outcomes

INCREASED RISK AWARENESS & CAPACITIES 2 Workshops 1 Risk assessment study 1 Information Systems study

• Strong Partnership with the Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA)

• Insurance knowledge. GAN, 3iE, WRMF,…

• Mainstreaming ARM: Capacity development of extension services

• Information systems

• Feasibility studies to be analysed with ATA

UGANDA

Overview on Risk Severity and Frequency (RAS Workshop, June 2015)

• Improved insitutional framework: inclusion of ARM in ASSP, ARM housed in

MAAIF with dedicated people

• Targeted budget allocations: inclusion of risk aspects into budget allocations

• Increased capacity: provision of skills at regional level to analyze and manage

risks (farmer organizations, extension messages)

• Improved data collection and analysis/information systems (linked to inputs,

markets, etc.)

• Cost-benefit analysis of different risk management tools (e.g. concerning

pest & diseases)

• Improved financial sector risk management (banking, insurance)

• Pricing mechanisms (commodity trading, warehousing)

• Storage facilities (farm level and at market level)

UGANDA

Guidelines on way forward (RAS Workshop, June 2015)

FEASIBILITY STUDIES

Propose feasibility of specific investments to new Government before July 2016

UGANDA

Outcomes

INCREASED RISK AWARENESS & CAPACITIES: 2 Workshops 1 risk assessment study 1 Information Systems study 2 Capacity development seminars

ASDP 2016-20 The Ugandan Agricultural Sector Development Plan (ASDP) 2016-20 drafted in June 2015 includes a Framework Implementation Plan for the agricultural statistics, ICT and agricultural risk management • Holistic • Information systems • Prominence of pests and

diseases

A continuous discussion with GoU, development partners and stakeholders (Meetings in Kampala Oct-2015 and Feb-2016, despite elections):

• Plant Protection

• Post Harvest losses

• Price risk: information

• Fake seeds

• Insurance

• Rural financial inclusion

• Information and private sector

UGANDA

Way forward: Areas of focus for specific feasibility studies on ARM Investments

Main issues are low detection and monitoring capacities at MAAIF, low sustainability of donor initiatives, low private sector involvement, and weak flow of information.

Analysis is required:

1. To advice Crop Protection Department to upgrade qualitative to quantitative monitoring (through integration of donor and private sector data into information system)

2. To assess cost and benefit of different pest management approaches (e.g. farmer field schools, plant doctors, village agents)

3. To develop sustainable pest management strategies that are driven by the private sector

4. To develop an investment strategy for MAAIF related to plant protection

UGANDA

Plant Protection

Challenges

• Access to farmers and their information is costly for financial institutions

• Provision of information services is not covering

• Government is not well connected to farmers

Solution

Pilot test an integrated information and risk assessment model that is cost efficient

Public sector dimension

1. Use of existing infrastructure for provision of public goods (information)

2. Use of vulnerability assessment for an entire village for ARM investment
