ProjectMedStat 2011 Fishing Vessel Census - Census Design and Implementation 2011
Also available in:
No results found.The MedFisis (Mediterranean Fishery Statistics and Information System) regional project was set up in response to an increasing need to monitor fishing activities and provide fishery management systems in several GFCM (General Fishery Commission for the Mediterranean) countries. Specifically, there was an urgent need for a comprehensive fisheries statistics collection and analysis system. From the outset of the project it was recognised that to be effective such a system must be designed to mee t the needs of all stakeholders in the fishery involved, and that all resulting statistics must be reliable, timely and backed by relevant research. The project would involve a study of existing statistical and information systems in order to identify and upgrade areas requiring attention and/or optimisation. Moreover, all the work should be done by the national staff, limiting external aid to filling any gaps, and the system adopted should be as close as possible to existing working practices a nd conditions for the staff involved. The solution produced by FAO staff was the modular MedStat system. MedStat consists of a set of databases and associated statistical data collection and implementation methodologies, techniques, and procedures, including training modules and technical support covering a Fleet Census, a Catch and Effort Survey and other surveys. There are also tools to facilitate monitoring and other management issues. Structurally, MedStat comprises a core system which i ncludes the regional/national/local reference and codification system, and the national fishery control and monitoring system. Considerable attention is paid to the structure and conduct of the census, and throughout MedFisis it is emphasised that accurate, reliable and exhaustive data collection is crucial to the output of the survey. All aspects of census procedure are dealt with in detail including the preparation, quality control and the all-important questionnaire. A comprehensive MedFis is questionnaire is presented and explained, as is the association between the questionnaire and the data field descriptions and reference system. There are a number of useful appendices which include a flow chart of a typical census survey and a list of references. -

No results found.Under the umbrella of the 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap, FAO provided technical support for four annual agricultural surveys implemented by the National Statistics Office of Georgia (Geostat) between 2020 to 2023. Through the Initiative, the country strengthened its national statistics system, improved the quality and use of survey data in policymaking and enhanced the capacity of key data users to optimize evidence-based decisions. This brief provides key insights on agriculture in Georgia for 2023, as well as major trends since 2020. -
Book (series)Assessment and collection of data on pre-harvest food grain losses due to pests and diseases 1983
Also available in:
No results found.The manual is intended to serve as a guide to the statistical methodology for assessing and collecting data on pre-harvest foodgrain losses due to pests and diseases. It should be useful to those developing countries which plan to launch foodgrain losses reduction programmes but find themselves seriously handicapped because of lack of basic data. The manual will go a long way in assisting those who will be charged with the responsibility of planning and implementing surveys for estimating pre-harvest foodgrain losses due to pests and diseases.
