Budget Analysis and Assessment of Investments in Water Smart Agriculture for Smallholders in Uganda and East Africa

The primary objective of this report is to review the trends in public investment in Water for Agriculture Production (WfAP) at the national and subnational levels. Specifically, this report aims to i) review the national and sub-national literature on investment in WfAP with specific reference to smallholder agriculture; ii) review the extent to which budget preparation and development processes enable the consideration of the wider social-economic and growth impacts of investing in WfAP; iii) identify, map and quantify resources that are allocated for WfAP in the national budget; and iv) track and assess the extent to which the appropriated budget translates into allocations and transfers to local governments for the implementation of WfAP for the benefit of smallholder farmers.
