LONGTERM INVESTMENT AND CAPACITY TRENDS IN AGRICULTURAL R&D
Agricultural research and development (R&D) spending in Ethiopia doubled between 1993 and 2000, and then again between 2000 and 2001, peaking at 227 million Ethiopian birr or 100 million PPP dollars in 2002, all in 2005 constant prices (Figure 1, Table 1).
Note that, unless otherwise stated, all dollar values in this note are expressed in purchasing power parity (PPP) prices.1 PPPs re–ect the purchasing power of currencies more effectively than do standard exchange rates because they compare the prices of a broader range of local—as opposed to internationally traded— goods and services. This expenditure growth was primarily driven by greater government and donor funding to Ethiopia's main agricultural research agency, the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR). From 2003, investment in agricultural R&D began to decline, reaching 157 million birr or 70 million PPP dollars by 2008. Although the 2008 value of spending was lower than 2001–02 levels, it was still signi cantly higher than the levels recorded in the 1990s, which averaged 85 million birr or 38 million PPP dollars (all in 2005 constant prices).
