dc.descriptionThe 2012 report sets out to analyze and present trends in investments in agriculture in the SADC region, and to also show, in a simple but useful way, the associations that exist between investments in agriculture and important selected output and outcome variables, such as agricultural productivity, incomes and measures of poverty. In pursuing this goal, the report empirically highlights the importance of disaggregating expenditure data when examining its links to measures of productivity and poverty. This is important because not all types of expenditure have the potential to positively impact productivity and poverty. The analysis focused mainly on data on public expenditure, including overseas development assistance (ODA) and, to a limited extent, private expenditure and foreign direct investments (FDI), for Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. This included data collected by ReSAKSS-SA in 2012, and data collected from several other sources: World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), Statistics of Public Expenditure for Economic Development (SPEED database) of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Because data on investments in the agriculture sector at household level are hard to find, this report is based on expenditure related to agriculture as a proxy for investments.
