Agriculture budgets and expenditures serve as the means through which agricultural policies are translated into tangible and targeted developmental actions. Government decisions on how to allocate and spend financial resources directly affect the agricultural programmes adopted and the well-being of citizens. However, misallocation, incorrect prioritisation, abuse, and mismanagement of funds pose significant challenges to the efficiency and effectiveness of agricultural service delivery. Citizens’ participation and civil society involvement in the processes of agricultural budgeting and financial management are essential for: promoting transparency and accountability regarding agricultural expenditures, creating safeguards against corruption, and ensuring that public funds are allocated fairly and disbursed in ways that adequately address the interests and needs of the private sector, including women and marginalised groups.
Propcom+ is bringing together CSOs, BMOs, farmer groups, and organised private sector actors to:
1. Strengthen platforms of market enablers for improved agricultural governance, policy implementation, planning, and service delivery, while supporting climate-resilient and conflict-sensitive agricultural practices at subnational levels.
2. Facilitate linkages between governments: State, LGAs, private sector actors, and non-state actors to scale and sustain market system solutions, while addressing existing challenges.
3. Provide a roadmap for state and LGA-level focused engagement processes with key actors on the implementation of agricultural development: (Policies, plans, and budgets).
4. Integrate strategic advocacy and communication to promote informal rules, norms, and practices that influence agricultural market behaviour, aiming to improve market functionality, promote inclusive participation, and strengthen transparency in rural agricultural systems.
