    The National Census of Agriculture and Livestock (NACA) is a national survey designed to be conducted every 10 years, the most recent of which was conducted in 2006-2007. The overall objective of the NACA is to provide data for evidence-based decision-making and improved capacity for planning agriculture and rural development. Specifically, the NACA provides data on food and agricultural production required for monitoring food security and estimating agricultural and development programmes, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III (2017-2022). In this context and given the importance of this activity in the country, the Government of Malawi, through the National Statistical Office (NSO), requested technical support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to prepare and conduct the NACA in 2020. NACA Phase 1 consisted of the preparation of the census and sampling design, sample design of households, detailed work plan development, and the budget for the census. The TCP supported the activities in Phase 1. Phase 2 will include technical support during the data collection, field work, reporting and dissemination of the survey and census findings. The design and implementation of the project addressed the management of the necessary activities to carry out the 2020 NACA, responding to national priorities, specifically making data available to inform evidence-based decision-making.

    Technical Support to Prepare the Upcoming Agricultural Census in Saint Lucia in 2022 - TCP/STL/3801 2024

    The agriculture sector, dominated by the banana industry, continues to play a major role in the economy of Saint Lucia, however, for a range of reasons, including changes in the European Union import preference regime, the effects of global climate change and other environmental events, its importance has declined in recent years. Recognizing the need to boost agricultural production, the Government of Saint Lucia has taken considerable measures to revive the banana industry and to address the current and future risks to agriculture posed by climate change. As part of Saint Lucia’s Sectoral Adaptation Strategy and Action Plan for the Agriculture Sector 2018 – 2028 (Agriculture SASAP), the government presented its plan to build adaptive capacity to climate variability in the agriculture sector. Furthermore, in the 2016 – 2021 Agricultural Policy Framework and Strategy, the government established an objective of increasing employment and economic growth in the agricultural sector through the adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies and the sustainable use of natural resources.

    Technical Assistance to Support the National Agriculture Census 2019 - TCP/FIJ/3703 2022

    Fiji is a small island state, which is vulnerable to the effect of climate change, natural disasters and consequently, economic shocks As Fiji’s large rural population is highly dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, it is crucial that the government has detailed information on the composition and structure of the agriculture sector to assist with planning and responding to these events Prior, little and irregular information is collected or disseminated to agriculture sector stakeholders, limiting the capacity to develop evidence based policies and strategies Low resource availability for follow up agriculture surveys, in addition to staff changes, has meant a loss of knowledge of the census methodology and databases, and data for monitoring progress in the agriculture sector and against the SDGs is also lacking or not always reliable As such, the government has committed to an ambitious programme of agricultural development under the Fiji 2020 Agriculture Sector Policy Agenda.
