National Plan for Food Security and Poverty Reduction This is a thought exercise. Please take time to think through this question, take notes and come prepared to speak on the issues. There will be an informal discussion but you will be expected to have a clear plan in your own mind. You are the Minister of Agriculture of a low middle-income country. The object of the exercise is to develop a national plan to improve food (and nutrition) security and achieve significant poverty reduction. You must decide on the priority outputs and activities that you think will be both doable and effective. You must decide on the priorities also in context of competing ministries such as health and industry. You will have a national budget and access to donor funds (bilateral, multi-national, World Bank, etc.) that you will need to attract with your plan. Some relevant data and statistics (example: Vietnam) National GDP 186 billion USD Government Budget 36 billion USD (deficit 3 billion USD) Donors Bilateral donors UN Development Banks China UNDP World Bank Japan UNICEF IFAD European Union UNFPA ADB France FAO Denmark UNIDO NGOs Germany UNESCO Oxfam United Kingdom ILO Red Cross Australia WHO Action Aid Netherlands Save the Children United States Foundations CAFOD Sweden Bill and Melinda Gates Care Canada Ford Foundation Plan Total donor contribution (pledged) 8 billion USD List of (competing) Ministries Ministry of National Defense Ministry of Public Security Ministry of Foreign Affairs Ministry of Justice Ministry of Finance Ministry of Transport Ministry of Construction Ministry of Education and Training Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development Ministry of Industry and Trade Ministry of Planning and Investment Ministry of Health Ministry of Science and Technology Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Ministry of Information and Communications Ministry of Home Affairs Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism
