Book (stand-alone)Technical reportReport of the expert consultation on analysis and dissemination of census and survey data 2005
Also available in:
No results found.Proper use of timely and reliable agricultural sector data is essential for agriculture policy formulation and programme development. However, in many cases the information available is incomplete or unreliable. To fill these information gaps, alternative methods are needed to complete the analysis. This expert consultation helped to identify some of these approaches and illustrated the use of various analysis procedures. In addition, procedures and analyses related to formulation, monitoring an d evaluation of relevant policies critical to poverty alleviation and food security were considered. Early warning systems, food balance sheets, crop forecasting, time series and seasonal price indices, trade flow data for estimation of production, principal components analyses and agricultural census tabulation and analysis are all important inputs to this process. However, the availability of information alone is not sufficient; it is also necessary to ensure that users have access to it. The expert consultation looked at the way in which FAO is developing a database system for countries to organize national data (at subnational levels) and how the Data Warehouse can be used to present information from censuses and surveys. -
