RE: Enhancing funding and service delivery in agriculture: any ideas? | Eval Forward

I once again wish to state my opinion as follows:

For ones efforts to be seen, appreciated and funds allocated in the required areas, the following hold:

1.  The problem to be addressed and the expected results after addressing the problem should be clear and  backed by evidence

2.The problem to be addressed and the expected results after addressing the problem should have clear intervetions that have a logical flow and supported with evidence

3. The clear interventions should be practical for implementation in addressing the identified problem and realisation of the expeted results

4. The clear interventions should be able to be costed in a realistic manner to support allocation of the funds towards addressing the identifed problem and realisation of the expected results

5. With that logical  flow, funds should be provided for the interventions, to address the identified problem and realisation of the expected results.

6. However, what I observe in practice is that, funds in most cases are advocated for as a fraction/share of GDP without the logical flow of the problem to be addressed, expected results, clear costed intervetions to justify the fraction/share of GDP being paraded.

7. I therefore still hold the opinion that, demanding  for a fraction/share of GDP allocation should be discarded in preference of the logical flow as stated above.
