Important characteristics of prime
movers
• No prime mover on its own can get agriculture
to grow on a sustainable basis
• Long-term investment is needed to
strengthen prime movers
• Prime movers need to work in tandem to
achieve sustainable development

Genesis of the FANRPAN SEED
• Getting agriculture moving in Eastern and Southern
Africa and a Framework for Action
– Prepared by M. Rukuni in consultation with:

W. Mwangi
H. Sigwele
T. Takavarasha
• Commissioned by World Bank on behalf of Global
Coalition of Africa
• February 26-27, 1994, Harare
www.fanrpan.org
Key Conclusions
• Only intensified investments in prime movers can lead to
agricultural transformation
• Single most constraint to getting agriculture moving is
the general lack of comprehensive agricultural policies
• Poor sectoral and macro-economic policies have
contributed to the stagnation of agriculture
• Inadequate capacity of most national and regional
institutes to address agricultural policy issues
www.fanrpan.org
Key Conclusions (cont.)
• Need to integrate agricultural policy with
industrial policy and to develop agro-industries to
attain more value addition
• Trade, marketing and pricing policies to be clear
and supportive of farmers
• Need for harmonisation of policies
www.fanrpan.org
Recommendations
• Create a new Regional Agricultural Policy Analysis and
Research Institute
• The institute will:
– in collaboration with regional universities, be responsible for
research and analysis leading to the co-ordination of
agricultural policies and strategies in ESA
– create an operational agricultural commodity research /
information system that should promote intra-regional trade as
well as build ESA into a strong trade block
www.fanrpan.org
ESA Ministers of Agriculture’ Call
•Create a regional agricultural policy
analysis network to enhance indigenous
capacity for policy formulation and analysis
as ESA countries develop comprehensive
agricultural policies and food security
strategies
•The network, in collaboration with regional
universities, to be responsible for research
and analysis leading to the coordination of
agricultural policies and strategies in ESA
Official Gazette of COMESA, Volume 1, No 1, 9 December 1994
“The Annual Conference of Ministers of Agriculture for Eastern and Southern Africa as constituted in a
meeting on 14-15 April 1994 in Harare, Zimbabwe should be the policy organ for food security in the
COMESA region”
www.fanrpan.org
Recommendations of the Ministerial Conference cont.
(14 – 15 April 1994, Harare, Zimbabwe)
• Each ESA country shall, with immediate effect, start
developing such comprehensive and implementable
agricultural policies which indicate national priorities
within each prime mover
• This network will assist the convening of the Conference
of Ministers to review the progress of the
implementation of agricultural sector policies and
strategies
www.fanrpan.org
