GTP-2: overview
What is new?
7
GTP-2: new areas of focus
GTP-2 builds on and takes forward the first 5 year plan. But some new areas of emphasis have emerged
• Continued emphasis on high (8%) growth rate in agricultural production, but with a focus on strategic crops—identified as key food crops, export/high value commodities (coffee, spices, horticulture, livestock); and, industrial inputs
• Continued emphasis on natural resources development, particularly irrigation
• Continued emphasis on ensuring food security and inclusiveness in the growth process—addressing the needs of the food insecure, pastoralists/agro-pastoralists, women, youth
• Enhanced focus on rural employment generation
• Integration of climate adaptation and mitigation issues with specific objectives defined for climate smart agriculture
• Enhanced focus on promoting mechanized agriculture
• Customizing agricultural services to different contexts and ensuring quality of services beyond increasing coverage
• Inclusion of a transformation agenda that will receive dedicated attention and will be monitored separately
Definition
Defining Agricultural Transformation
Developing the Agricultural Transformation Agenda

Implementation & monitoring
3
2
The agricultural transformation agenda is a set of interventions that unlock
systemic bottlenecks within the agricultural sector to catalyze transformation from a
subsistence oriented, low output agricultural sector to a high performing sector well
integrated into the national economy – and to do so in an environmentally sustainable and
inclusive manner.
9
The Agricultural Transformation Agenda is developed around interventions
(deliverables) to unlock systemic bottlenecks identified though:
• Analysis of critical issues that constrain agricultural development; consideration of in-
country and international best practices and innovative approaches to addressing
such issues as well as extensive consultation with different stakeholders; and,
development of strategies based on such analysis and consultation.
• Building on strategies and in-depth consideration of systemic bottlenecks,
development of various deliverables. These deliverables constitute the Agricultural
Transformation Agenda.
Multiple stakeholders implement the Agricultural Transformation Agenda: While
implementation is coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture, the various deliverables of
the Agricultural Transformation Agenda are implemented by diverse stakeholders. ATA
is responsible for monitoring its progress. For each deliverable, annual targets and
quarterly milestones are established, which form the basis for monitoring.
Alignment with national policies
4 The Agricultural Transformation Agenda supports implementation of key
strategies for the agricultural sector (i.e., the second 5 year growth and
transformation plan)

Piloting

3 • In a narrow set of prioritized interventions that
are deemed to be time sensitive, ATA takes the
lead in piloting a solution and hands over a
successful pilot to key partners for scale-up
• In an even narrower set of prioritized
interventions where there is time urgency and
lack of capacity in the system, ATA has taken the
responsibility to execute an intervention at scale
while building the capacity of the long term owner
in the system for hand over
Implementation support

• ATA provides owners of prioritized interventions
in the Agricultural Transformation Agenda with
support in three key areas: (a) Strategy
development, (b) Detailed problem solving, (c)
Capacity building and (d) Coordination support
• ATA has worked with various stakeholders to
identify a set of targeted and high impact
interventions (deliverables) that constitute the
agricultural transformation agenda.
• ATA assists deliverable owners to provide
accurate reporting on developments related to
the Agricultural Transformation Agenda;
• ATA provides quarterly reporting on the
Agricultural Transformation Agenda to the
Agricultural Transformation Council
