Abstract
Grievances articulated by small farmers in Djibouti highlight some major problems of institutional performance of the Ministry of Agriculture. Macroeconomic policies and divisions between competing departments within the Ministry mitigate against agricultural growth. Administrative reforms are proposed intended to unify policy-making, financial, personnel and monitoring functions throughout the Ministry. A post of Secretary General is to be created, supported by two technical units, to whom all Heads of Departments will report. Improved management performance will, it is hoped, provide solutions to the bottlenecks plaguing agricultural development and encourage greater government commitment to the sector.
