Roles of public expenditures and public investments on the demand and productivity of agricultural inputs/services: Some insights from Nigeria por Takeshima, Hiroyuki, Edeh, Hyacinth O., Andam, Kwaw S.

There is often complementarity between these PI and PEA, particularly for extension services, investment in agricultural equipment, irrigation, and in the northern part of the country. …”

Why do African countries underinvest in agricultural R&D? por Benin, Samuel, McBride, Linden, Mogues, Tewodaj

“…The approach to the analysis presented in this chapter is to examine the political economy of underinvestment in agricultural R&D using a framework of the key drivers of public investment decisionmaking (Mogues 2015): (1) the attributability of investments to key actors, including politicians, bureaucrats, interest groups, and donors; (2) the incentives and constraints of these actors; (3) the budget process; and (4) the political and economic governance environment. The chapter begins by presenting past trends in and future commitments to public agricultural research expenditures compared with other types of PAEs in different parts of Africa. …”
