Abstract

The present Agricultural Sector Plan (ASP) 2016-2020 consists of two volumes. Volume 1 provides an overview of the national policy context, a summary of the key findings from the review of the ASP 2011-2015 implementation and the strategic policy framework for the ASP going forward. It also describes the governance and institutional arrangements to implement and coordinated the delivery of the intended multi-sector programs. Whereas the volume 2 of the Plan contains the detailed costed implementation plan and monitoring framework which provides a clear indication of the roles and responsibilities of lead agencies and potential sources of funding. In line with overarching government policy, the ASP promotes private sector-led agriculture growth and recognizes that the Private Sector - including farmers and fishers (big and small), traders, food vendors, processors, retailers and exporters – are the major sector output generators. The private sector also provides important services to the sector and it is envisaged that private sector operators, where appropriate, will increasingly be involved in service roles.
