Synopsis (short abstract) This document was endorsed as FAO Statistical Standard by the Technical Task Force of the Data Coordination Group (DCG-T) on September 19, 2025. It aims to help improving the accessibility and clarity of data and statistics disseminated by FAO through visualization tools such as dashboards. It therefore provides requirements and recommendations relevant to all the critical steps for the creation of a dashboard, starting from its design to external dissemination.

Transforming Agricultural Oversight in Timor-Leste: Surveys, Rapid Data Response and Campaign Innovations - UTF/TIM/009/TIM 2024

The MAF of Timor-Leste launched a transformative initiative to enhance agricultural productivity and planning through the Sustainable Agriculture Productivity Improvement Project (SAPIP). Supported by a USD 21 million grant from the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), the project aimed to improve smallholder farmers' productivity. Despite significant progress achieved since Timor-Leste's independence, the country continued to face significant human resource capacity constraints and a recognized need for a decentralized approach across all government institutions, including the MAF. The latter, in particular, requires accurate information on its activities and evidence-based analysis of its performance and the outcomes of the programmes it oversees. To address these challenges, the Government of Timor-Leste sought assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to develop an evidence-based Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) System as a sub-component of the SAPIP. The system integrated planning, monitoring and reporting, using data-driven tools for decision-making. The project concluded successfully in December 2023, establishing sustainable, evidence-based agricultural management.
