Organisation and Management of Foreign Aid to Polish Agriculture

A Senior Development Adviser reviewed current status of aid coordination. International aid (multilateral and bilateral) to Polish agriculture has been coming from several sources and various agreements with major donors have given rise to similar services and entities serving the Ministry. These include EC, WB, USDA, Commission Mixte Franco-Polonaise, FAO and others. The multiplicity of involved parties has led to the need for definition and coordination. Landell Mills Ltd carried out a critical review and an evaluation of the situation created by the various sources of aid and the present modus operandi.

Taking into consideration MAFE's strategy of restructuring and development for the agricultural and rural sectors, the review covered a clarification of the respective responsibilities of existing units:

in their relationship with the various donors, and in coordinating their activities with the national and foreign executing agencies inside and/or outside MAFE.The review also described the tasks and human resources needed to implement and manage the programmes agreed upon as well as the role of an expanded Department of Foreign Economic Cooperation and its links with other units related

Mid-Term and Final Reviews of the Second Cycle of the 2 year Food Security Programme 2002 in favour of Kyrgyzstan

Pilot Regional Privatisation Project – Industrial Component

Pilot Regional Privatisation Project – Industrial Component (Gas Analysers & Other Products)

This study examined ANALITPRIBOR, the largest producer of gas analysis instrumentation within the Confederation of Independent States supplying the key industries such as gas and oil industry, ferrous metals industry, automotive industry and others. Its present share of the market at the time of the study was around 70%, but the disintegration of COMECON had reduced the exports to only 2-3% of the whole production capacity. The plant operated on the principle of self-sufficiency, subcontracting only a very small part of its assemblies and components. The total workforce numbered 3200 employees. The principal conclusions included:

Analitpribor was an attractive enterprise monopolising the entire Russian market and represented relatively high level of technology. The potential market comprising the oil and gas industry, metallurgical industry, power generation, chemical industry and automotive industry was very large. There was also a possibility of renewing contacts with the former customer base throughout Eastern Europe. Analitpribor had well-educated and skilled employees but was probably considerably overstaffed by western standards. The plant management was dynamic and knowledgeable with a clear sense of direction as regards new products and technologies. Quality assurance procedures were in place and left little to be desired. An injection of new technology would lead to vast improvement in this area.
