265. With regards to the recommendation of the APR Panel for the country to allocate 10% of the State Budget to agricultural sector, there have been some progresses in the allocation of resources to this sector. In aggregate terms (of the central, provincial and district levels) it amounts to 7%25. There is a government and partners commitment to increase financing to the sector of agriculture in the context of Comprehensive African Agriculture Development (CAADP) and the expectation is that up to 2015 the country achieves the target of 10% defined in Maputo Declaration in the context of NEPAD. 266. With reference to the APR Panel´s recommendation to strengthen Monitoring and Evaluation System to assess progress in fulfilment of targets contained the PARPA and ODM, the government body responsible for planning, drafted and integrated monitoring matrix of PARP indicator in its main monitoring instrument – Economic and Social Balance. 267. However, the 2012 Aide Memoire - Annex IV, Annual Review between the Government and Programmatic Support Partners, indicates that notwithstanding this remarkable step in the area of monitoring, the same matrix is not yet fully integrated in the Economic and Social Plan (PES) what to a certain extent makes it difficult to monitor the implementation of PARP. For the coming years and according to the Government, this alignment will be guaranteed, through the inclusion in the Guideline Document for the drafting of PES and OE and the need to submit report on the indicators of PARP aligned to the objectives of the sectoral programmes. It is important to stress that a vast number of sectors already have their indicators aligned to the PES and BdPES. The main challenge in this area is related to the indicators under the responsibility of various sectors. 268. Furthermore, in the field of improvement of planning and monitoring, the Government has been working since 2011 in the creation of a National Planning and Budgeting System and the respective Conceptual Model26 (SPO) has been concluded. This document´s scope is the definition of necessary master lines for the implementation and setting up of the process for planning and budgeting which later on will be related to the process of execution monitoring and evaluation27 process. 269. In as far as monitoring of the progress in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), the Government, through the Ministry of Planning and Development, has been making progress reports in a bi-annual basis based on information generated by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) which takes as the sources the surveys administered by this State institution. However, given the fact that the surveys are administered in an interval of 3 to 5 years, there is some kind of misalignment between the time the INE generates the information and the drafting of the progress report of the country on the achievements of MDG. 270. In an effort to resolve the problem of timely availability of statistical information, the INE introduced and is implementing a Continuous Survey to Families (INCAF) with the objective of serving as the main tool for follow up of national development plans by making available annual statistical information which objective is, among others, to (i) analyse poverty/living conditions trends; (ii) get estimates of employment/unemployment rates; (iii) assess socioeconomic conditions and economic expectations of Families, and important information 25 When considering the whole value chain (e.g. marketing, agro processing etc..) The percentage is close to 12%. A document that indicates the present situation identifies weaknesses and proposes ways forward. 27 Aide Memoire on 2012 Annual Review– Annex IV 26 89
