DocumentOther documentThe FAO parametric versus the IFPRI non-parametric approach to estimating the Prevalence of Undernourishment:
Issues Relating to the Use of Household Level Data from National Household Surveys
2007Also available in:
No results found.A non-parametric approach suggested by researchers from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) for measuring food deprivation (undernourishment) is not an improvement to the current FAO parametric approach. This is mainly due to flaws arising from the use of an inappropriate methodological framework and the reliance on single household data from national household surveys (NHS) that are subject to undesirable sources of variation. FAO’s parametric approach is still th e only choice for estimating the prevalence of undernourishment for the purpose of monitoring hunger reduction at country, regional and global levels. The FAO approach estimates the average food consumption parameter from national food balances such as those from the FBS compiled and prepared by FAO on yearly basis. The FBS is the only data source for global monitoring. The parameter on inequality in food access is derived from NHS data, which are collected less frequently. For estim ating the prevalence of undernourishment at subnational levels and identifying population groups at high risk of food insecurity, countries are applying the FAO method to derive both the average and the inequality parameters from the NHS data. -

DocumentOther documentPart 1, Chapter 2. Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa: Prospects and challenges for the next decade 2016
Also available in:
This chapter reviews the prospects and challenges facing the agricultural sector in Sub-Saharan Africa over the next decade. It reviews sector performance, outlines the current market context, provides detailed quantitative medium term projections for the ten-year period 2016-25, and assesses key risks and uncertainties. The outlook for agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa is situated in the context of several mega-trends that shape the sector’s development. These include rapid population growth, u rbanisation and rural diversification, an associated structural transformation from farm to non-farm employment, a growing middle class, and increasing interest (both domestically and globally) in the continent’s farmland. The Outlook for agriculture is broadly positive, but could be further enhanced by consistent policies and strategic investments, in particular in rural infrastructure.Read the Summary of the report.

Book (series)Technical studyAméliorer la qualité de l’oignon au Sénégal
Contractualisation et autres mesures transversales
2018Also available in:
No results found.La production d’oignon a connu au Sénégal une forte progression depuis le milieu des années 2000. Cependant, la qualité de l’oignon reste très insuffisante et se traduit par (i) des pertes importantes, (ii) une impossibilité de stocker l’oignon local, et (iii) une préférence des consommateurs pour l’oignon importé, dès lors que ce dernier est présent sur le marché. Les producteurs font face à un faisceau de contraintes qui les incitent à privilégier le rendement et les récoltes précoces, au détriment de la qualité. Les principales contraintes sont: l’absence de financement alors que les charges de production sont élevées, la qualité des semences incertaine, le manque d’encadrement technique, les températures élevées dès mars-avril dans la région de Fouta. En outre, la faible qualité des bulbes et le manque d’infrastructures de stockage contraignent les producteurs à vendre dès la récolte, induisant un effondrement récurrent des prix durant deux à trois mois. La mise en œuvre de schémas d’agriculture contractuelle permettra d’améliorer la qualité de l’oignon local en (i) assurant un financement des charges de production et un accès à des intrants de qualité ; (ii) garantissant un débouché aux producteurs et une valorisation de leurs efforts sur la qualité ; (iii) formalisant les bonnes pratiques de production et de récolte dans un cahier des charges prédéfini; (iv) donnant accès à de l’appui technique pour une meilleure maîtrise des conditions de production et de commercialisation. Une série de mesures d’accompagnement à moyen-terme ainsi qu’un dispositif financier de soutien à la filière sont également recommandés.
