ProjectFactsheetImproving Agriculture Statistics in United Republic of Tanzania - GCP/URT/145/IRE 2019
Also available in:
No results found.An analysis of the agricultural statistics system of the United Republic ofTanzania revealed weaknesses caused by the decentralization ofadministration and the delivery of services at district level. These ledto low awareness among district-level management of the importanceof evidence-based policy and data use, and to a lack of control of datacollection and reporting at district level from ministries and statisticsoffices in both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. The Agriculture StatisticsStrategic Plan (ASSP) noted that more accurate data were needed at districtlevel, for decision-making, planning, resource allocation and the monitoringof results by local authorities. A project was proposed to develop and applysmall area estimates (SAE) methods in Tanzania Mainland in order to makedistrict-level estimates of key production variables. There was also a needto sensitize local authority staff to the benefits of evidence-basedpolicy-making and to train them in the basic analysis and use of statisticsfor decision-making and the monitoring of policy implementation.The objective of the project was thus to develop and pilot district-levelagricultural data estimates using appropriate SAE methods. -

Book (stand-alone)General interest bookAssessment of agricultural plastics and their sustainability: A call for action 2021
Also available in:
This report presents the results of a study on agricultural plastic products used globally in a range of different value chains. The study assessed the types and quantities of plastic products, their benefits and trade-offs. Sustainable alternative products or practices were identified for products assessed as having high potential to cause harm to human and ecosystem health or having poor end-of-life management. The report is based on data derived from peer-reviewed scientific papers, governmental and non-governmental organization’s research reports, as well as from industry experts, including relevant trade bodies. The report’s recommendations were verified during extensive consultation and review with FAO and external experts. The authors hope that the study will provide an impetus for discussion about the use of agricultural plastics, their benefits and trade-offs, and ultimately stimulate action to reduce their potential for harm to human health and the environment.
