Development of Self- Assessment Tools of In-Country Results- Based Management Capacity in Agriculture

The overall goal of the programme is to contribute to evidence-based design and implementation of policies and programmes by improving the measurability of progress towards SDG targets related to agriculture. The objective is to enhance knowledge of the shortcomings of and solutions for better results-based management and to foster implementation of concrete and resourced action plans to improve measuring, analysing, managing and communicating results on SDG targets in the agriculture sector.

The target group will be composed of ministries of agriculture and related ministries (e.g. development and planning) of up to 20 IFAD borrowing countries. These ministries have an ongoing interest in measuring SDG-related results, and in using those results to improve planning and implementation, particularly regarding poverty and food security, as well as other priority SDGs. They also have an interest in learning from each other and from global dialogue on improving the tracking of SDG-related indicators. As such, they will increasingly be able to learn from the AG-Scans conducted in other countries and the ensuing exchanges on these.
