Resumen
Descripción
This report summarizes the main outputs
of the technical assistance provided which was concentrated
in three areas: (1) development of MAIL's strategic
priorities and investments for the immediate future/short
term, medium term and longer term; (2) advising Ministry of
Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) regarding the
design of an appropriate structure of the Ministry and
definition of corresponding responsibilities; (3)
analytical policy advice regarding urgent issues that the
Ministry of Agriculture (MAIL) has to deal with on a daily
basis, but where it lacks the capacity to analyze
alternative policy strategies and solutions. The technical
assistance work regarding urgent policy issues has focused
on three main areas: (1) organization and management of
public food grain stocks; (2) purchasing and distribution of
improved wheat seed; and (3) leasing of government-owned
land to private entities. Finally, and outside the area of
policy support, the Bank may consider stepping up its
efforts to help MAIL to further develop/restore
Afghanistan's agricultural production base and in this
way help improving the livelihoods of poor rural people.
More specifically the Bank may consider exploring the
Government's interest in a project aimed at increasing
agricultural incomes through improvements in the quality and
reliability of input delivery systems and wider adoption of
improved production technologies, including technologies
that increase the efficiency of on-farm water management.
