The document discusses the collection of data from SADC countries for monitoring and evaluating progress towards the CAADP goals of allocating 10% of national budgets to agriculture and achieving 6% agricultural growth. It notes low response rates and gaps in the data collected. The data collection process involved consultants collecting data from government departments with some issues around clarity of the questionnaire and validation of data. The gaps in the data mean it is difficult to produce comprehensive regional statistics or meaningful analysis of progress towards the CAADP goals.

3. Introduction
In June 2011 SADC country consultants were contracted to
collect data for the purpose of Monitoring and Evaluating
CAADP process; in particularly, progress made towards
achieving the 10% allocation of national budget to
agriculture and 6% growth in agricultural output.

4. Rational
The main objective of the response analysis is to establish:
a. the overall response rate for all the SADC countries that collected data which are
Angola, Botswana, DRC, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa,
Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe;
b. a response rate per question and section with a view to identifying gaps in the
data;
c. which critical questions and sections are affected by gaps in the data;

6. Observations on data collection and collected data
1. Most country consultants outsourced collection of data or submitted requests to various government departments to fill
out the questionnaire;
2. In some cases there is no evidence to suggest that the questionnaire was thoroughly discussed with subcontractors or
departments that were requested to complete the questionnaire or sections of the questionnaire;
3. Not all countries responded to all spot check issues that were raised with them. In fact some consultants choose to address
the data issues in their country reports;
4. There is no evidence to suggest that some country consultants checked data before it was submitted to IWMI Project Co-
ordinator;
5. When country consultants presented their draft reports during the workshop, most of the reports were not based on
collected data but a different data source;
6. Questions that were asked by some country consultants during the second data workshop suggested that either the
questionnaire was not clear or there was a communication breakdown / problem;
7. Some country consultants could not explain some of the ambiguities in the data because it was transcribed from source as
is and without any explanation;
8. It is not clear:
a. if data is not available; or
b. at source it is not stored / collected in a manner that can easily relate to the way questions are structured in the
questionnaire; or
c. there is inadequate skill to extract data in the manner it is required on the questionnaire.

7. Impact of gaps in the data
It is not possible to produce comprehensive combined regional statistics for
meaningful analysis and the table below is one of the example
