Synopsis (short abstract) In 2007 an in depth evaluation of two agricultural statistics databases in Mozambique was carried out by FAO and other consultants in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security ( The evaluation determined that there were inconsistencies in the data between the two systems, which caused a duplication of efforts and confusion on the part of users The first database that was evaluated consisted of statistical information obtained through a post harvest probability sample survey known as Trabalho de Inquérito Agrícola ( Despite the fact that the TIA uses a universally accepted methodology, it was deemed problematic because the results were not made available in a timely fashion The second and more timely source was the Aviso Prévio (Early Warning System), which generated data on crop production forecasts estimated through non probability sample surveys These two sources were found to contain data that was not always aligned, complicating planning and evaluation practices, as well as decision making.

    Supporting Developing Countries to Integrate their Agricultural Sectors into National Adaptation Plans - UNFA/GLO/616/UND 2021

    The project successfully fostered climate change adaptation informed planning and budgeting in the agriculture sectors in the 11 target countries. This was achieved by strengthening the capacities of around 5 200 national and sectoral decision makers, representing over 120 institutions across the target countries, in identifying and appraising adaptation options, using tools such as multicriteria assessment, Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), impact evaluation, and vulnerability and risk assessment, to facilitate evidence based decision making in their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) process. Strategic capacities to advance adaptation planning and implementation were also reinforced, including on gender mainstreaming, climate finance, mobilization, and monitoring and evaluation of adaptation. In this context, a significant number of guidance materials were developed for policy makers and practitioners, related to different aspects of adaptation planning in agriculture. The project also helped countries to create collaborations with ongoing projects, and unlock innovative sources of climate finance that could support adaptation in their agriculture sectors. In addition, many partnerships and alliances were built with global research organizations, regional expert centres, national universities and civil society organizations.
