As stated by the AfDB, the development objective of the Angola Agriculture Sector Reform Program is to strengthen agricultural policy and business environment towards improved food production ultimately contributing to economic diversification.
The project is a single-year self-standing sector budget support operation with one disbursement for the Government fiscal year 2024. It is designed as precursor sector reform and policy-based operation that will enable the Government and the Bank to invest in four planned agriculture interventions under the Dakar II Country Agriculture and Food Compact. The Programme will deepen reforms towards more efficient agricultural markets, while strengthening governance and capacity of agriculture public institutions, encouraging the private sector to participate in agricultural markets and thus contributing to raise cereal and oil seed production in the country.
The Program aims to achieve its objective through three (3) components:
(i) Enhancing food production, productivity and building resilience of smallholder farmers;
(ii) Strengthening of national input supply and delivery system for smallholder farmers, including support to the implementation of the National Seed Policy and regulatory framework, equitable access to input supply and distribution system to address inclusivity and equity in accessing agricultural inputs and farm mechanization services; and
(iii) Enhancing agriculture sector capacity for effective management and accountability to foster sustainability for sector growth, including building capacity to undertake agricultural research to enable adoption of climate smart technologies that are aimed at bringing more rural land into production.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF AfDB
The Independent Review Mechanism (IRM), which is administered by the Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (CRMU), is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an African Development Bank (AfDB)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may assist you by either seeking to address your problems by facilitating a dispute resolution dialogue between you and those implementing the project and/or investigating whether the AfDB complied with its policies to prevent environmental and social harms. You can submit a complaint electronically by emailing crmuinfo@afdb.org, b.kargougou@afdb.org, b.fall@afdb.org, and/or s.toure@afdb.org.
