INTRODUCTION
Why S&T indicators? • Formulating policy; Setting priorities • Understanding strategic planning, M&E • Provide information for governments, policy research
institutes, universities and private sector organizations involved in agricultural S&T;
ASTI is an initiative of IFPRI with a mandate to : • Compile, process, analyze, and publicize data on
institutional developments, investments, and capacity in agricultural R&D at national, regional, and international levels
Background: ASTI-IIAM collaborative study
• Purpose of the study: to identify recent trends relating to financial and human resources for agricultural R&D
• First joint survey round conducted in 2009 provided data from 2004-2008
• Country note published in 2010
• Longer term collaborative agreement signed in 2012 to institutionalize data collection
• 2nd survey round conducted in 2012 provided data from 2009-2011
• Country factsheet published in 2013 (Portuguese version coming soon)
• 3rd survey round to begin in 2014 will collect data from 2012-2013

Research Focus
Policy developments affecting agricultural research
• Strategic Plan for Agriculture Sector Development
(PEDSA) • National Plan for Investments in the Agrarian Sector
(PNISA ) • IIAM Strategic Plan • Platform for Agricultural Research and Innovation
Technology (PIAIT) • Center of Leadership for rice-based cropping systems
under the Agricultural Productivity Program for Southern Africa (APPSA)
R&D Challenges
• Most of the problems related to agricultural research in
Mozambique are related to financing.
• Few resources in agriculture particularly for research investments (PNISA financial gap for research is as high as 91.2%)
• Agricultural research depends on quite volatile and short-lived external funds.
• Many younger researchers in need of training.
• Long-term results will only be achieved with sustained investment
by the government.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
• Participating agricultural R&D agencies ( DT e CZ, IIP, UEM , ISPG,
ISPM, ESCMe C) for their contributions to the data collection and preparation of the country factsheet;
• Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for its generous support of ASTI’s
work in Africa south of the Sahara.
