Building on the 2016 Agricultural Development Policy, MOALI, with the support of the Agricultural and Rural Development Coordination Group, drafted the five-year Agriculture Development Strategy with a corresponding investment plan. The aim of the ADS is to identify the investment priorities of the sector over the short, medium and long term.

The strategy also aims to accelerate growth in the sector through governance, productivity and competitiveness, driven by close cooperation between the government, farmers and businesses. Ideally, the strategy will promote inclusiveness, sustainability and resilience to climate change as well as development of the role of the private sector and farmers’ organisations in generating growth within the agriculture space.

Suggestions on improving connectivity to market infrastructure, information and communication technology infrastructure and power infrastructure are also included.
