This first-ever Agricultural Public Expenditure Review is an important step to deepen the policy dialogue on improving the impact of public services on agricultural growth and other developmental objectives. It covers the period from 2009/10 to 2016/17, analyzing the budgets of the Union Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation (MOALI),1 selected Regions and States, the Myanmar Agricultural Development Bank’s (MADB) financing, and donors.
The review focuses on allocative and implementation efficiencies of public expenditures.
The findings and recommendations of this review will serve as a baseline for the investment plan being prepared for the Agricultural Development Strategy and Investment Plan (ADSIP) for 2017–2021. It will also help strengthen the alignment of budget with strategic objectives set in the ADSIP. This review is the start of future systematic analyses of agricultural public expenditures.
