The Office of the Chief Statistician (OCS) conducted the Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG indicators in early 2019 to provide insights about member countries' national statistical systems in regard to their capacity to monitor and report the 21 SDG indicators under FAO custodianship. The survey collected information on the national coordination mechanisms for the SDG reporting, current data availability and plans for filling data gaps, and needs for technical assistance. The respondents were mainly the National Coordinators for SDG Monitoring or the SDG focal points nominated by the Directors General of National Statistics Offices. The results will assist FAO-HQ and decentralized offices in designing targeted interventions and mobilizing resources to support countries in collecting, analyzing and using the SDG indicators in decision-making.

The twin-island federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis has been a member of FAO since 1983. Since 2003, technical assistance has focused on the development of non-sugar agricultural activities, with an emphasis on the creation of sustainable livelihoods and food production. Interventions range from national policy support to community projects for improving food security and nutrition. As a small island developing state (SIDS), disaster risk management and adaptation to climate change are important areas of cooperation with FAO.
