Synopsis (short abstract) The African Commission on Agricultural Statistics (AFCAS) was established in October 1962 by the FAO Director General to: study the status of food and agricultural statistics in the region, advise Member Countries on the development and harmonization of agricultural statistics in the general context of FAO’s statistical activities, organize meetings for study groups or other subsidiary bodies made up of national experts to achieve these goals. Since 1962 the session has been organized every two years. The 26th Session of AFCAS was held in November 2019 in Libreville, Gabon, which focused on SDG indicators to help senior officials of National Statistics Offices (NSOs) and Ministries of Agriculture (MoA) understand their role in improving data collection, quality, comparability and use of their country’s indicators.
