Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureThe Agricultural Integrated Surveys Programme - AGRISurvey 2018Good decisions are based on accurate information. That truth is especially critical in the agricultural sector where national programmatic and policy decisions impacts the well-being for citizens. Yet, the scarcity of high-quality and timely national data to inform decisionmaking across low and lower-middle income countries is widely recognized, hampering the efforts of governments and organizations to shape good policies, encourage investment, target programs, and measure progress. The dearth of data is especially profound in the areas of agriculture and food security where long-term investments are lacking to create sustainable data systems. Most developing countries have not conducted regular annual agricultural surveys or censuses in the last 15 years. To adress this problem, FAO in collaboration with USAID, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and GRAInS, is working with countries to build their capacities to implement AGRISurvey programme. The AGRISurvey programme aims to accelerate and improve the collection and dissemination of data on agricultural production as well as the technical, economic, environmental and social dimensions of agricultural holdings through training and technical assistance geared towards the implementation of an integrated system of agricultural surveys.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureInitial achievements of FAO's AGRISurvey programme in Senegal 2019
Also available in:
No results found.The AGRISurvey Programme supports countries to strengthen their national system of agricultural surveys with the aim of enhancing evidence-based policy making in the agricultural sector. The programme complements the efforts and resources of partner countries for the implementation of their Strategic Plans on Agricultural Statistics supporting the collection and dissemination of survey data. The Enquete Annuelle Agricole (EAA) is the main source of agricultural statistics in Senegal and is carried out by the Senegalese Directorate of Analysis, Forecasting and Agricultural Statistics (DAPSA). It estimates the production of the most important rain-fed crops produced by agricultural households, using the crop-cutting method. It also provides information on the physical characteristics of cultivated plots (geo location, area) and major investments made (agricultural inputs, cultural operations, soil management and restoration). Structural data, such as agricultural equipment, agricultural income, agricultural risks and adaptation strategies, are also collected once every three years. The EAA covers the entire country and generates representative production estimates for 14 regions and 42 agricultural departments of Senegal. Since 2017, FAO has been providing technical and financial assistance to the Government of Senegal to expand the Enquete Annuelle Agricole based on the AGRISurvey methodology. Following the implementation of AGRISurvey many improvements can be observed, from the expansion of scope of the survey, to a better data precision, improved data access and dissemination and reduction of costs and time for data collection.
