Synopsis (short abstract) An evaluation strategy for an agency mandated to transform the agricultural sector requires a comprehensive plan including the development of a theory of change to inform which indicators and mechanisms would lead to the desired impacts. Availability of quality data, through comprehensive primary data collection and data use systems, are the basis for evidence-based decision-making. Management information systems (MIS) can support in the processing and visualization of relevant data, but what lies behind these systems – namely, data quality, analysis, and purpose – is as important.

    The importance of good statistical data and its analysis in the national development of countries is seldom appreciated. In order to make progress in alleviating poverty, benchmarks to measure progress need to be established. This is especially true of the Pacific countries where a clear definition of poverty and its scope in the region is still lacking. National capacities in data collection and statistical analysis need to be strengthened to provide decision-makers with accurate information. T his workshop, held in Nadi, Fiji from 10 to 13 November 2003, focused on ways to measure food security and poverty in the Pacific and, specifically, to assist countries in formulating and utilizing a food and agricultural statistics system in the framework of an integrated system of agricultural statistics.

    This brief summarize the findings of the report "Ten years of the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency – An FAO evaluation of the Agency’s impact on agricultural growth and poverty reduction". This evaluation finds that ATA has achieved many of the outcomes it is being measured against, in terms of input use, extension services, and agricultural technology. The outcomes observed point to the effective removal of bottlenecks in the rural agricultural economy that have improved the linkages between producers, input markets and agricultural services. The improvements in those priority areas are reflected in productivity gains for certain priority crops and in market orientation positions that confirm ATA’s effectiveness in connecting producers to markets. FAO’s evaluation finds positive macroeconomic effects from ATA interventions, helping to ameliorate the reduction in gross domestic product growth, and also supporting the development of agroindustry and transportation services.
