Strengthening National Capacities, Ownership, and Financial Autonomy of National Agricultural Statistical Systems - GCP/GLO/677/USA

The need for better, cost effective and timely statistical data in the agricultural and rural sector is generally widely recognized. Thanks to the traction of open data movements, in recent years there has been some progress on accessing existing information. However, critical gaps in data production and dissemination persist in several countries. These critical gaps are due to longstanding issues, such as limited funding allocated to agricultural statistics, shortage of adequate human resources, and subsequent limited technical capacity in data collection and analysis. The absence of coordination between national statistical offices and ministries of agriculture means that agricultural data is often collected in institutional isolation, which further expands data gaps and affects countries’ capacity to respond to emerging data needs. Against this background, the project aimed to enable partner countries to implement a coordinated, integrated, standardized, and sustainable system of agricultural and rural statistics, expected to produce, on a regular basis, a minimum set of core data. The selected beneficiary countries were Cambodia, Senegal and Uganda.
