Workshop on Agricultural Policy Analysis
 
PREMISE: Over the years agriculture has contributed significantly to the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) in spite of this achievement, a recent review of past agricultural policies in Nigeria has revealed that some gaps exist in the planning, analysis, implementation and monitoring of these policies among those responsible for carrying out these key functions. ARMTI believes that the contribution of agriculture to the national economy could be further enhanced if these gaps were bridged.

OBJECTIVES: This course is, therefore, designed to provide officers responsible for policy formulation and implementation with the appropriate analytical tools to do their jobs better. At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
 
  • apply selected tools in analysing agricultural policies;
  • monitor and evaluate the implementation of on-going policies; and
  • use computer for analysing policies in the agricultural sector.
    CONTENT:
  • Overview of Nigerian Agricultural Policy.
  • Selected tools for policy analysis.
  • Problem tree analysis, development of objective trees and log frame.
  • Policy analysis matrix.
  • Monitoring and evaluation system for policy analysis.
TRAINING METHODS: Lecturettes, case studies discussions, exercises, group discussions and hands-on computer exercises.
