This Botswana Agriculture Public
Expenditure Review (AgPER) is one of a series of similar
studies undertaken in over a dozen countries in sub-Saharan
Africa under the framework of a program coordinated by
CAADP, supported by the Bill Melinda Gates Foundation and
the CAADP Multi-Donor Trust Fund, and implemented by the
World Bank. The AgPER presents data about actual expenditure
for the period 2000 to 2013, with an outlook on the
following two years. It presents public expenditure on
agriculture structured by various dimensions and classifiers
such as institutional, recurrent versus investment and
capital, by sub-function and subsector and by spending unit.
It analyzes expenditure levels, patterns and trends and
compares expenditure patterns with policy objectives and
strategies. Finally, it draws conclusions and
recommendations in areas where future decisions could
benefit from a clear view of an analysis of past spending or
where it is deemed useful to support imminent policy
formulation and decisions with a clearer understanding of
the financial implications.
