The Implementation Framework, Plan and Budget

Prepared byAgriculture and Livestock Extension Task Force

JUBA, May 2011

This document is intended as a guidance resource to support the implementation of the National Agriculture and Livestock Extension Policy (NALEP) in South Sudan for the next five years. Although each step in this Implementation Framework should be completed, the level of details depends on the circumstances of individual initiatives, projects and programmes. It is worth to note that it should include, at all levels, the involvement of all stakeholders in extension service provision, and be attractive for the private and non state actors (NSA) to participate in the delive-ry of extension services and the commercialization of agriculture.

Foreword

This document presents the Implementation Framework, Plan and Budget of the National Agriculture and Livestock Extension Policy (NALEP). It is complementary to the main NALEP document. It is structured in four main sections, namely: the Logical Framework, the Operational Plan, The Key Implementing Actors and Interactions, and the Budget. The numeration of these sections is a continuation of the one of the main NALEP document.

The first three sections give an indication on what the Republic of South Sudan should do, would it be willing to guarantee for its farmers, animal raisers and fishermen a pluralistic extension system, most likely to transform its agriculture and livestock sector from a subsistence-systems-based one to a more efficient one capable to help the country achieve in a relatively short period of time food security, wealth creation and national economic growth through science based, market oriented, competitive and profitable agricultural and livestock systems.

The fourth section (The Budget) presents information on what the Republic of South Sudan needs at once to provide its crops producers, animal raisers, fishermen and people earning their living from natural resources from the forest with the kind of effective and efficient extension services. Otherwise, it theoretically represents the maximum costs that Government of South Sudan and all stakeholders may need to secure in order to guarantee ideal extension services to a vast majority of producers to achieve the goal mentioned above.

In practice, however this document is a kind of guide to which to refer, or from which to tap to design any proper extension action for any segment of the national territory, or to the benefit of any socio-economic segment of the population, to achieve an optimal transformation of their agricultural and livestock systems, provided a certain number of key conditions (peace, environment stability, GoSS’ commitment to NALEP implementation…) are durably met.

The content stems from the entire NALEP document. Mention of specific sections or sub-sections however is made wherever it is deemed necessary.

Executive Summary

South Sudan is going through rapid transformation. Since the installation of Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and the semi autonomous Government in 2005, South Sudan has been committed to meeting the dreams and aspirations of its people. As more than 90 percent of the people depend on agriculture and livestock for their livelihood, the provision of efficient, effective and participatory extension services is seen as key in achieving these national goals. To strengthen extension services provision, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) and Ministry of Animal Resources and Fisheries (MARF) have developed National Agriculture and Livestock Extension Policy Directives. This policy document along with its accompanying Implementation Framework is aimed at promoting the development of extension services that can contribute to the wellbeing of the people of South Sudan.

In recognizing the role that the private sector can play in extension provision and the need to make extension services responsible and accountable to client needs, the new policy have features that: 1) calls for the adoption of pluralistic and participatory extension services; 2) encourages the privatization of extension services; 3) ensures that research priorities and extension messages meet farmer needs; 4) focuses on developing human resources to commensurate with emerging needs; 5) promotes the use of multiple approaches to meet diversified client needs and agro-ecological zones; 6) promotes empowerment of clientele and service providers; 7) seeks to assure that extension facilitating factors vital to motivate extension service providers (ESPs) are considered in agriculture development activities; 8) address the financing of extension services; and 9) provides a focus on cross cutting issues such as HIV/AIDS, gender and environment affecting agricultural development.

The National Agriculture and Livestock Policy and its Implementation Framework have been developed through a participatory process which was led by the Directors of Departments of Extension from MAF and MARF supported by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ Sudan Productive Capacity Recovery Programme (SPCRP) and the Support to Agriculture and Forestry Programme, supported by the Multi-Donor Trust Fund. The new policy indeed builds on the past work done by the two ministries. The Task Force reviewed and improved the policy directives based

viii

on emerging needs and gap analysis, supported by state level sharing and validation workshops where key stakeholders from the government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private sector and farmer unions/associations were invited to contribute. Indeed the process and the product can be considered home grown.

The National Agriculture and Livestock Policy Directives are also accompanied by implementation guidelines, developed through a consultative process through State level consultative workshops. The challenge ahead will be to develop State level extension implementation strategies. The GoSS, with the support of key partners, presents in this document the operationalization of the policy through the development of a detailed implementation framework along with budgets, time frame and monitoring indicators designed to meet the demands of individual states in line with the guiding principles of NALEP.

15 THE LOGICAL FRAMEWORK (LOGFRAME)

The complete Log frame table of the NALEP is presented in Annex 2.

The design of the NALEP Logical Framework (Log frame), Operational Plan and its budget was prepared by the Agriculture and Livestock Extension Task Force with the support of Mr. Nehru Essomba (SPCRP, international consultant) as well as key national level stakeholders through different consultations and a validation workshop. The NALEP Log frame is harmonized with the NALEP policy document and it has 10 specific objectives that are expected to be completed by the end of July 2016 (the time frame for the operational plan starts in July 2011 for a five years period till July 2016).

15.1 The Main Narrative Summaries

The five main narrative summaries of the Log frame (Goal, Overall Objective, Specific Objectives, Results, and Activities) stem from the content of Section 3 (Policy on agriculture and livestock extension services) of the main NALEP document. The numeration of Results is nested to the one of Specific Objectives (example: Result 1.1. = Result number 1 of Specific Objective number 1), and the one of Activities to the one of Results (example: Activity 3.1.3 = Activity number 3 of Result number 3.1).

The Goal

The Goal targeted through the NALEP implementation is:To transform agriculture and livestock from traditional/subsistence systems to achieve food security, wealth creation and national economic growth through science based, market oriented, competitive and profitable agricultural and livestock systems.

It corresponds to the NALEP mission as defined in section 3.2 of the main document.

The Overall Objective

The Overall Objective to be reached is:To guide the establishment and implementation of a pluralistic extension system which will be instrumental in achieving national agricultural and livestock goals, efficiently contribute to the national economy and reduction of poverty, through developing

4

and improving the efficiency of sustainable agriculture, livestock, water, forestry and rangeland resource sub-sector activities, based on sound environmental practices.

It corresponds to the NALEP objective presented in Section 3.

The Specific Objectives

The ten Specific Objectives are formulated as below:1. To create a favorable and enabling environment for quality and effective extension

services to a broad clientele at all levels2. To provide a quality and effective extension service to a broad clientele at all levels3. To promote a wide range of participatory extension approaches and methods4. To empower rural households and their institutions for the use of appropriate rural

services and the adoption of appropriate extension messages5. To strengthen stakeholders linkages, and the coordination and networking among

ESPs at all levels6. To develop and strengthen human and institutional capacity of extension service

providers at all levels including training institutions, for a more effective technology development and transfer (TDT)

7. To promote the provision of facilitating factors for effective extension service delivery

8. To promote and mainstream crosscutting issues in agriculture and livestock extension services

9. To develop an effective and sustainable funding mechanism in favor of technology development and rural extension

10. Develop an effective research- extension – user partnership and linkages that will facilitate a research system responsive to farmers needs

16 THE OPERATIONAL PLAN

16.1 Specific Objectives, Results and Activity Narratives

1 To create a favorable and enabling environment for quality and effective extension services to a broad clientele at all levels1.1. The NALEP is endorsed at the highest possible level of the GoSS within one

year1.1.1. Present the NALEP, its Implementation and Regulatory Frameworks to the

Council of Ministers through MAF and MARF (year 1)The Task Force will prepare all working all working documents that MAF and MARF will need to present the NALEP document and its Implementation, Plan and Budget annex document to the Council of Ministers. For the NALEP Regulatory Framework, the Task Force will need to have a suitable consultant for assistance with regard to working documents needed by MAF and MARF in terms of law(s), rules and regulations necessary for NALEP sustainability and its functional modalities, the creation of NALEP-related new institutions, procedures and modalities of interactions among stakeholders involved in NALEP implementation.

1.1.2. Allocate and mobilize appropriate resources for the implementation of NALEP at all levels (years 1-5)

1.2. NALEP is adopted by States and implemented at all levels starting second year1.2.1. Launch and disseminate the NALEP to the States (year 1)

GoSS Officials at all levels and all stakeholders involved in NALEP implementation should be involved. This activity will include field visits, meetings all levels, within a coherent programme schedule, and a lot of communication through all media (newspaper, radio, television, internet…) at all levels.

1.2.2. Implement the reform of extension organization and management structures at GoSS, State and County levels (years 2-5)This activity will deal with making the institutional setup proposed for NALEP functional. It will require, after the appropriate regulatory framework is in place, to work on allocating and making available resources at all levels. Meetings, field visits, monitoring, communication actions will be necessary for that.

16

1.3. International partnerships are built around NALEP in support of its implementation starting first year.1.3.1. Initiate and formalize as many international partnerships as possible around

the NALEP implementation framework, including with the implementation process of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) (years 1-5)

MAF and MARF will organize a Roundtable of Development Partners for the implementation of NALEP at the national level. All partners involved in development technical assistance, financing, and activities should be invited to initiate discussions on what could be done, how, where and by whom. A permanent organ to periodically monitor the process should be established early during year 1. This organ should meet regularly every year.

MAF and MARF will also ensure, in particular, that GoSS adhere to the CAADP and its financing process at the level of the African Union (AU) and of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), as well as to the AU 2003 Maputo Declaration on Agriculture and Food Security, in case the Government of Sudan was not already involved. In case this latter was already involved, MAF and MARF should strengthen linkages with these processes and in particular engage in the formulation of a Compact Plan, which will be national agricultural investment plan with the CAADP framework for the financing of agriculture in the Republic of South Sudan. Technical assistance in this endeavour could be sought from partners such as FAO, the World Bank…

17 KEY IMPLEMENTING ACTORS AND INTERACTIONS

17.1 The Implementation Institutional Setup

The institutional setup proposed for NALEP implementation is given in Figure 6. It multi layered structure, which will carry responsibilities going beyond NALEP, will covers the GoSS, State, County and Payam levels. It has been thoroughly described in Section 4.4 of the main document.

On top, at the GOSS level, will be the Inter-ministerial Steering Committee. The Technical Committee established under it will include all key sector stakeholders. A NALEP Implementation Committee will be formed under this latter to coordinate the work of making the policy operational. The implementation committee will have a number of Working Groups under it including notably, the one in charge of Extension and Research Coordination.

17.2 The key implementing actors

Within and beyond the institutional setup presented above, actors to be involved in NALEP implementation can be grouped under four main categories: Government bodies, Development Partners, Extension Service Providers and the Extension Clientele itself. The Government bodies comprise the GoSS, the governments of States, the Counties and Payams administrations, and all the field lower structures controlled by the Government. Extension Service Providers include public as well private and non state actors. Research institutions, Higher Education Institutions, NGOs, CBOs, Public extensions providers, etc belong to this last group. The category of Development Partners would basically include multilateral as well as bilateral donors, development agencies of the United Nations system and international NGOs.

17.3 Interactions of Implementing Actors

Actors involved in the implementation of NALEP could interact among themselves in many ways, formally (through agreements, contracts or any other formal links) or not. These various links inter-related or not, are summarized in Figure 3.

Partnerships will be one category of these links. They will concern two or more actors of the Government bodies (GoSS or States), the Development Partners and the Extension Service Providers, in situations where actors concerned will come together to cooperate in favor of extension service delivery or organization.

Financing will be another reason for interaction. It will correspond to situations where a donor (Government body or a Development partner) or a group of donors will provide financial resources for actions of extension service delivery or supervision/coordination of this latter. It would involve the donor(s), the beneficiaries, and the specific implementing actor(s).

A typical supervision situation will be one where an actor, usually a technical public body, will have the responsibility to look over activities implemented by Extension Service Providers to ensure that the service is provided within the norms in enforcement. The alter ego of this situation will be one of reporting, in which the supervisee(s) will have to report to the supervisor(s) and other stakeholder(s) on activities convened.

17.4 The Regulatory Framework

The regulatory framework will be constituted of all NALEP-related official documents (laws, rules, norms, guidelines…) in enforcement the Republic of Sudan, which would provide the foundation for the various actions undertaken to be legal and guarantee conditions of their effectiveness and efficiency in extension services delivery. In case some of these documents may not be available, it will be necessary to have them established and approved / endorsed by the appropriate authorities. Figure 4 illustrates the backgorund provided by the Regulatory Framework for NALEP implementing actors and their interactions.

It is important that the regulatory framework be conducive for all actors, so as to enable them to efficiently participate in the interactions in which they will be involved. It will be necessary that it be closely monitored by Government authorities to that end. Three main areas will be of interest for making the regulatory framework conducive:

• The creation of new NALEP-inspired bodies. The organs of the institutional setup for the implementation of NALEP should receive some kind of official or legal existence, through

official documents carrying the clear description of their mandates, their structure, the role of various factors involved, etc.

• The procedures and modalities guidelines for interactions described above. A minimum codification and formalization of the various types of interactions to be established for the implementation of NALEP will be indispensable, to avoid overlapping and redundancy, and promote synergy as much as possible in the process.

• The normative framework for ESPs, which will include the norms and guidelines, and other documents presenting the instructions to be followed or respected by all actors in their involvement with NALEP implementation.

33

THE BUDGET

34

18 THE BUDGET

18.1 Budget Structure

The budget is structured in two main components: the General Costs, and the Specific Operational Costs for Activities. The first component presents estimated costs under three sub-components: the GoSS, the State and the County levels. Every sub-component includes itemized costs for the rehabilitation of infrastructures, non expendable procurement, and expendable procurement, the personnel, contracts with ESPs, training, travels, and general operation costs. The second component presents exclusively operational costs that would be needed to implement the 39 specific activities identified for the NALEP.

As indicated in the foreword of this document, this budget presents information on what the Republic of South Sudan could need at once if it were to provide its crops producers, animal raisers, fishermen and people getting their living out natural resources from the forest with ideal extension services, over the entire national territory and for the benefit of all the agricultural and livestock systems, in the most efficient and effective way. Otherwise, it theoretically represents the maximum costs that GoSS and all stakeholders would need to secure, in order to guarantee ideal extension services to all its producers, through NALEP implementation.

18.2 Total Costs Estimates (in USD)

The total budget necessary to implement the NALEP over the entire national territory, under the conditions presented in the foreword of this document amounts to USD 137,837,631 (one hundred thirty seven million eight hundred thirty seven thousand six hundred thirty one US dollars), of which USD 108,408,706 (one hundred eight million four hundred eight thousand and seven hundred and six US dollars) would fall under General Costs and USD 29,428,925 (twenty nine million four hundred twenty eight thousand and nine hundred twenty five US dollars) under Specific Operational Costs for Activities.

ANNEXES

Annex 1: The Methodology Followed

The formulation of the draft of this document was conducted by the NALEP Task Force in an iterative process within and between four progressive steps:

1 The Log frame

A standard Log frame table was adapted to fit the specific case of the NALEP. It was not developed out of a standard Logical Framework Approach, as it was meant to translate the content of the already existing NALEP main document into action.

Thus the five main narrative summaries of the Log frame (Goal, Overall Objective, Specific Objectives, Results, and Activities) were defined based on the content of Section 3 (Policy on agriculture and livestock extension services) of the main NALEP document, as was mentioned in section 15.1.

The ten Specific Objectives were derived from the eleven Policy Statements presented in section 3.4 of the main NALEP document. Their correspondence with these latter is presented in Table A1.a below.

The Results expected under each Specific Objective as well as corresponding Activities could be defined after that, before the OVIs, MOVs and assumptions could be worked out. Assumptions were not developed for Results, as OVIs, MOVs and Assumptions were not elaborated for Activities.

2 Operational plan worksheet

The Operational Plan Worksheet was developed to present Specific Objectives, Results, and Activities in a logic sequence, and for every Activity, the key implementing actors, the specific operational costs, and the deadline to have it completed. It should be mentioned that the specific operational cost (titled Indicative cost in the worksheet) column was completed after the budget was finalized. The starting for NALEP implementation was fixed to July 2011.

38

3 Budget

Quantities considered for some of the budgetary lines are given in Table A1.b. Items concerned were Vehicles, Data processing equipments, and Printing and reproduction materials. The number of States considered was 10, the number of Counties 79 and the number of Payam (for bicycles) was 513.

The base of some of the lump sum calculations is given in Table A1.c. The budgetary lines concerned were the Rehabilitation of infrastructures, Non expendable procurement, Expendable procurement, Personnel, Contracts with ESPs, Training, Travels and General operations expenses. Costs were estimated on a yearly base, except where specifically mentioned.

Vehicle operation and maintenance was estimated on the base of 1/3 of the procurement of the vehicle. Insurance was estimated at 2% of the vehicle or equipment cost.

The year 2011 served as a reference for all costs estimates. Beginning from year 2 (2012), the inflation rate considered was estimated at 3.5%. Costs estimates were adjusted to this rate using the inflation rate index of value 1.035 in year 2, value 1.071225 in year 3, value 1.108718 in year 4 and value 1.147523 in year 5.

4 Validation workshop

The draft NALEP Log frame, Operational plan Worksheet, and Budget were presented to a panel of GoSS authorities from MAF and MARF, in presence of representatives of main Development Partners. The finalization of the document was made based on their amendments, comments and recommendations.
