The objective of the Agriculture Sector review which was completed by the World Bank under the Advisory Services is to discuss and propose a lay out for a new role for the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environment (MANRE) and its supporting services, more closely aligned with modern principles of institutional efficiency and effectiveness.
To this effect, the functional review will aim to identify: a more effective distribution of policy areas and functions across the MANRE and articulation with the rest of the public administration, in relation to the strategic policy objectives that Cyprus is pursuing and to an enhanced coordination of programs and policies.
During its first stage, the functional review will focus on global aspects related to strategic coordination between departments, potential overlapping and irrelevant mandates and organizational structures, and other general organizational and functional failures.
Τhe second stage includes in-depth functional reviews of five departments selected within MANRE. The functional review will cover the current situation and future needs of MANRE along the following assessment areas:
• Strategic Framework and Goal-Oriented Management Processes
• Organizational Structure and Decision-Making Processes
• Budget and Financial Management
• Human Resource Management (HRM)
The World Bank presented the final report to the Cyprus Government in May 2013. The report also included the review of the Cyprus Agricultural Payments Organization and Agricultural Insurance Organization, as State Owned Enterprises falling under the competences of the said Ministry.
