Major Achievements on Coordination
•
•
•
•
•
Use of Government Structures (central/local)
ASLMs synergies and collaboration
DPs and Government consultation
ASDP basket structures established
Establishment of an agriculture SWAP and
sector framework
• M and E framework established
Major Challenges
• Communication (within ministries, across ministries, with
local authorities and clarity of information)
• Reporting (type of reports; timeliness and adequacy)
• Availability of Communication facilities at local
level (such as internet, email, computers)
• Planning at local level- for village agriculture plans and
district agriculture development plans; involvement of partnersprivate sector/non-state actors, farmers categories
• Backstopping to LGA- technical backstopping, information
sharing, giving directives. Also issues on capacity support and
quality assurance mechanism for reports. The flow of information
from both local and national level.
Challenges Cont.
• Clarity on the agriculture sector initiativesawareness of the many initiatives (such as KK, SAGCOT,TAFSIP and
projects)
• Coverage of interventions- location/area specific or
national; some districts less covered, concentration along the
southern corridor
• Limited funding- for proposed projects at local level
• M and E Framework- adherence to the ASDP M &E
framework by all projects
• Meetings – no adequate time for preparation and notice
for meetings
Proposed Key Features for
Coordination Mechanism
• Adopt SWAP approach
• MAFSC as coordinator/ lead
• Brings in non-basket partners, non-state
actors, NGOs and farmers groups
• Strong government leadership

Coordination Principles
Leadership
The government through PS MAFSC will provide overall leadership of the
projects in the sector. A data base should be established in MAFSC for all
sector interventions. The projects should address interventions consistent
with ASDS and TAFSIP Thematic programme areas.
Planning and Budgets
Each project will prepare its plans according to project objectives,
logframmes and MOU. Copy of project documents and AWPB will be
submitted to the Programme Secretariat for information.
Reporting
Projects/programmes will prepare summary quarterly progress reports and
submit to the Programme Secretariat. The DADPs reports should include all
agriculture interventions at the local level. These will used for discussion at
ASCG/NSC meetings. All projects will be members and should participate in
the relevant coordination structures/ meetings.
Meeting Fora
All interventions should be discussed at project /programme level and
summaries submitted to MAFC each quarter for the Agriculture Sector
Coordination Group meeting.
Coordination Principles
• Programme Secretariat
There will be a programme secretariat at MAFS. It will
have clear TOR and will need support. All
Projects/programmes will provide financial and human
resource support. Each ASLM will have a focal person.
Also each ASLM and PMO will allocate staff to the
Programme Secretariat (4MAFS,1MLDF, 1MTIM,
1PMORALG, 1PMO)
• Accountability and commitment
All projects and programmes will use government
accounting framework and fulfil commitments
• Common performance measures and targets- as
stipulates in the sector M and E framework
