Continued operationalisation of the single spine extension system both at the Ministry and in the Local Governments 2. Review of the sector Development Strategy and Investment Plan 2010/11 -2014/15 and formulation of the Agriculture Sector Strategic Plan 2015/16 - 2019/20 to articulate the Agriculture Chapter undertakings in NDP2 3.

However implementation of activities to achieve the above outputs was not as fast as anticipated; thus affecting the Vote budget performance; largely due to the following reasons: • Insufficient budgetary releases; MAAIF only received 9.5% of the approved annual budget in 3rd quarter instead of the projected 25%. This affected implementation of many of the planned activities. • The activities to fast track the capital procurements activities were delayed by the stringent requirements under the PPDA. • The open bidding procurement method regulation continues to delay the contracting of firms for most of the capital development procurements involving huge sums of money. MAAIF intends to find solutions to overcome the above constraining issues so as to improve the Vote budget performance in the 4th quarter of FY 2015/16; and in the rest of the FinancialYear.

  • Land, Industrial Policy and Earth Systems Governance in Sub
    Land, Industrial Policy and Earth Systems Governance in sub•Saharan Africa: The Relationship between Land Tenure and Foreign Investment Strategy in Uganda and Tanzania Mark Purdon Department of Political Science Université de Montréal Email: [email protected] —Paper Presented at the 2016 Nairobi Conference on Earth System Governance— Nairobi, 7-9 December 2016 ABSTRACT Changes in land tenure and agriculture sectors in East Asia are often credited with laying the foundations for successful industrialization there. What are the opportunities for such development in sub•Saharan Africa? This paper contributes to discussion about earth systems governance and industrial policy in the sub•Saharan Africa by demonstrating how land tenure and foreign investment strategy interact to shape the outcomes of foreign investment projects involving land. It is based on extensive field investigation of large•scale forestry and bioenergy projects in Uganda and Tanzania (including 300 household surveys) in conjunction with key stakeholder interviews and review of relevant legal/policy frameworks. Results demonstrate that land tenure and foreign investment strategy can be effectively combined to boost smallholder incomes, spur domestic investment and allow the state to retain strategic control. While projects in Uganda were more modest in size than those in Tanzania, the risks involved in Uganda's projects were more equitably distributed between investors and smallholders. In Uganda, smallholders were able to secure considerable economic benefits from projects because their Uganda's land tenure system recognizes individual land rights. At the same time, the selectivity of the Uganda Investment Agency and Uganda's foreign investment regime placed important restrictions on foreign investment, effectively putting a brake on large•scale land acquisitions.
