MeetingStrengthening Food Balance Sheets to Support Evidence-based Agrifood System Policies in Africa - RAF/AFCAS/29/5.1 2025
Also available in:
The African Commission on Agricultural Statistics (AFCAS) is a Statutory Body of FAO and meets every two years. AFCAS brings together senior statistics officials from FAO member countries of the African continent, who are responsible for the development of agricultural statistics in their respective countries. They review and exchange ideas on the state of food and agricultural statistics in the continent and advise member countries on the development of their agricultural statistical systems within FAO's Programme of Work and Budget for Africa. -

ProjectStrengthening Soil Analysis and Information Systems to Enhance Sustainable Soil Management and Support Evidence-Based Decision Making in Liberia - TCP/LIR/3804 2025

No results found.Agricultural land in Liberia (around 5.4 percent of the area) is divided into swamps and forests, and a third of it is under permanent crops plantation. Even though it was assumed that swamps were better suited for rice crops, there was very little knowledge about the soils properties and potential to improve the number of crops or the yields quality and quantity. The country was also lacking some appropriate technologies and capacities to support sustainable land-use programmes. Although some work on data collection had been done in the past, after a long civil crisis and several development challenges, Liberia still counted on limited available data to implement an efficient agricultural plan. By increasing national capacities in soil analysis and implementing better practices for the sustainable use of the land, the project was aligned with the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) policies. Furthermore, by addressing key technical concerns about climate change and the agricultural sector, the project provided strong support to the government programmes and initiatives, which entailed two relevant changes of context: (i) incorporating sustainable land management techniques for sustainable farming, and (ii) new institutional and agricultural frameworks to draw attention from multiple stakeholders, thus promoting the allocation of further financial resources to develop all environmental areas.
