The Development Aid for the Agricultural Sector of African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries—Determinants and Allocation

2025, SmoliƄska-Bryza, Kinga, Kiryluk-Dryjska, Ewa

We propose a method for allocating Official Development Assistance (ODA) to the agricultural sector of African Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries based on objectively measured indicators of the development of the economies determined for the period of 2010–2022. These indicators are calculated from statistical data using factor analysis. They are then implemented in a linear programming model to allocate the budget for ACP agriculture. The results show that the proposed approach allocates funds according to the assumed logic, supporting countries in the low and very low development classes. The research conducted can contribute to the discussion on the allocation of development support to the agricultural sector by potential donors while analyzing different assumptions. This study can also serve as a prelude to researching the phenomenon of increasing efficiency in the agricultural sector in the context of potential economic development paths for the analyzed countries.

Regionalne zrĂłĆŒnicowanie poziomu antropopresji na ƛrodowiskowe uwarunkowania rozwoju w Polsce

2022, Józefowicz, Karolina, SmoliƄska-Bryza, Kinga

Zasoby ƛrodowiskowe stanowią częƛć bogactwa narodowego, są uwarunkowaniem rozwoju lokalnego i regionalnego, umiejscawianym na pƂaszczyĆșnie elementĂłw wpƂywających na jakoƛci ĆŒycia mieszkaƄcĂłw oraz oĆŒywienie regionu. W odpowiedzi na globalne wyzwania związane z zasobami ƛrodowiskowymi tworzone są odrębne polityki ƛrodowiskowe, wdraĆŒane i powiązane z innymi politykami rozwojowymi. Celem artykuƂu jest identyfikacja zrĂłĆŒnicowania gospodarowania zasobami ƛrodowiskowymi w polskich wojewĂłdztwach. Zakres czasowy badaƄ obejmuje 2004 i 2019 r., a zakres przestrzenny 16 wojewĂłdztw. W postępowaniu badawczym wyodrębniono cztery dziedziny Ƃadu ƛrodowiskowego: (1) zasoby wody i gospodarka odpadami, (2) uĆŒytkowanie gruntĂłw i biorĂłĆŒnorodnoƛć, (3) energia oraz (4) ochrona powietrza i klimatu, w ramach ktĂłrych dokonano pomiaru ich zrĂłĆŒnicowania. Zaproponowana metoda TOPSIS umoĆŒliwiƂa liniowe uporządkowanie wojewĂłdztw w kaĆŒdej dziedzinie. W ogĂłlnym zaƂoĆŒeniu moĆŒna przyjąć, ĆŒe nastąpiƂ progres w poziomie gospodarowania zasobami ƛrodowiskowymi w obrębie kaĆŒdej z dziedzin. Zaproponowana metoda badawcza w poƂączeniu z uporządkowaniem w ramach klas typologicznych ujawniƂa w wielu przypadkach stabilny poziom gospodarowania we wskazanych obszarach, ktĂłry nie ulegƂ wyraĆșnym zmianom w badanych latach. Realizacja zaƂoĆŒonego celu badawczego pozwoliƂa dostrzec zrĂłĆŒnicowane podejƛcie w gospodarowaniu zasobami ƛrodowiskowymi w wojewĂłdztwach, co moĆŒna uznać za zjawisko korzystne. Úwiadczyć to moĆŒe o zdywersyfikowanym podejƛciu do kwestii ƛrodowiskowych i rĂłwnowaĆŒenia skali gospodarowania.

Winners and Losers of the CAP’s Rural Development Policy in Poland

2022, Kiryluk-Dryjska, Ewa, Więckowska, Barbara, SmoliƄska-Bryza, Kinga

The purpose of this study was to identify territorial clusters of Polish municipalities whose rural residents demonstrated higher or lower interest in the four programs of the CAP’s rural development policy compared to the country’s average interest. The clusters were identified on an aggregate basis and described with synthetic indexes of agriculture and rural development. The Moran’s global spatial autocorrelation coefficient was used to check for spatial autocorrelation. The results demonstrated that the support offered under the rural development programs covered by this analysis was higher in the regions with well-developed agricultural structures, while the areas with structural defects and the areas in need of development had lower-than-average levels of applications for all programs (regardless of their objectives). These findings call for a clear strategy to change the unfavorable structures in Polish agriculture. Otherwise, the regional development gaps in Polish agriculture will only deepen under these programs.

Regional Analysis of Socio-Economic Development: The Case of Poland

2025, SmoliƄska-Bryza, Kinga, Okereke, Obinna, Anyebe, Daniel

This article analyzes and evaluates the levels of socio-economic development of Polish voivodeships in two periods, 2010–2012 and 2020–2022. The purpose of this study was to outline regional disparities in development across the regions of Poland. To achieve the purpose of this study, 12 diagnostic characteristics were used, which were systematized by economic and social categories. Using the TOPSIS method, provinces were grouped, distinguishing between regions with the highest, high, low, and lowest levels of development. The approach adopted in this study identified changes in the processes of socio-economic development of Polish voivodeships in the analyzed years, highlighting clear spatial and structural differences. The findings can equip authorities in creating improved development plans and targeted responses to any shortcomings encountered.
