Initial achievements of FAO's AGRISurvey programme in Senegal
The AGRISurvey Programme supports countries to strengthen their national system of agricultural surveys with the aim of enhancing evidence-based policy making in the agricultural sector. The programme complements the efforts and resources of partner countries for the implementation of their Strategic Plans on Agricultural Statistics supporting the collection and dissemination of survey data. The Enquete Annuelle Agricole (EAA) is the main source of agricultural statistics in Senegal and is carried out by the Senegalese Directorate of Analysis, Forecasting and Agricultural Statistics (DAPSA). It estimates the production of the most important rain-fed crops produced by agricultural households, using the crop-cutting method. It also provides information on the physical characteristics of cultivated plots (geo location, area) and major investments made (agricultural inputs, cultural operations, soil management and restoration). Structural data, such as agricultural equipment, agricultural income, agricultural risks and adaptation strategies, are also collected once every three years. The EAA covers the entire country and generates representative production estimates for 14 regions and 42 agricultural departments of Senegal. Since 2017, FAO has been providing technical and financial assistance to the Government of Senegal to expand the Enquete Annuelle Agricole based on the AGRISurvey methodology. Following the implementation of AGRISurvey many improvements can be observed, from the expansion of scope of the survey, to a better data precision, improved data access and dissemination and reduction of costs and time for data collection.
