A new series of free e-learning on policy monitoring for food and agriculture is now available online.
  The series – a course on public expenditure and one on price incentives – has been developed by the Monitoring and Analysing Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) programme in collaboration with FAO's e-Learning Academy.

     Learn how to analyse public expenditure on food and agriculture to
    better understand government spending patterns, priorities and gaps and how
    these affect agricultural development, food security and economic growth. 
     
    The course will equip you with the skills to carry out your own analysis to
    see how public spending has evolved, which areas are underinvested, where
    budget bottlenecks are, and how governments can spend their tight budgets
    better.

     Learn how policies influence prices at different stages of the value
    chain – at
    producer, wholesale and retail level – and
    how price incentives indicators can reveal if farmers and traders
    are "incentivised" to produce or market a
    commodity.  
     
    This course will show you how to produce price incentives indicators, the
    data you need, and how to calculate and analyse them to shape public policy
    on production, price or food security.
