Synopsis (short abstract) The need for a dedicated information system intended to produce a continuous flow of information for forecasting, evaluating, measuring, maintaining and controlling events and performance in aquaculture has been emphasized by the countries in the Region in various fora. In response to the above the regional Project AQUILA II (GCP/RLA/102/ITA - “Support to regional aquaculture activities in Latin America and the Caribbean”) decided to include in its workplan an activity totally devoted toward to the design and development of an Information System to assist Aquaculture Planning in Latin America and the Caribbean, SIPAL. The essential features of its conceptual design were set out at a workshop held in Santiago de Chile, 10–14 December 1990, with the contribution of the participating countries Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama and Venezuela, as well as of the representatives of FAO Fisheries Department (cf.FAO document COPESCAL/91/Inf. 16 of March 1991).

    Guidelines are presented for conducting a National Agricultural Feed Survey (NAFS) within a Latin American or Caribbean country so as to enable the aquaculture producer, public or private, to develop his or her own aquaculture feeding strategy. Presented in the form of an illustrated atlas, the NAFS report is designed to provide the user with information on the fertilizer and feed resources of the country, where they are geographically located, how much is available and when, who is currently us ing this resource and how, the composition and cost of this resource at source and with transportation, an assessment of the existing agriculture, fisheries (including aquaculture) and animal feed manufacturing sectors, together with background information on the social, cultural, economic and political

    The foremost challenge of Latin America’s land regularization efforts has been sustainability. Substantial investments in the 70s and 80s had limited impact as land registries became outdated shortly after implementation (Borrero 1999; Jaramillo 1998; Barnes, Stanfield, and Barthel 2000; Barnes 2002, 2003). This paper examines the role of information systems and the way that systems help shape and are affected by institutions. The focus is on five countries where the World Bank supports land administration projects: El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama. The experience in these countries is complemented with available information on international experience, to draw lessons and derive recommendations to improve the effectiveness of information systems in expanding the sustainability and rural outreach of land administration interventions.
