Product type Project

Synopsis (short abstract) The project has helped to improve partnerships between national statistics offices, ministries of agriculture, and other stakeholders with expertise in the relevant new technologies, including GIS experts and departments in other ministries, academic institutions, and international and regional organizations. The project has complemented other projects and programmes involved in building capacity regarding the SDG indicators through the use of the cost-effective methods introduced. Integrating Big Data with traditional survey and census data has also enabled users to analyse and monitor, inter alia, the impact of natural disasters on different types of farmers and the effects of climate change on female-headed agriculture households.

    Improving Evidence-Based Decision-Making on Food Insecurity and Malnutrition at Global, Regional and Country Levels - GCP/GLO/494/UK 2022

    Despite significant progress made in recent decades, millions of people around the world are still affected by food insecurity and acute and chronic malnutrition. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID 19) pandemic has exacerbated these issues globally. Early warning information allows for the detection of crisis “hotspots” and leads to anticipatory action, which has been shown to save lives, preserve livelihoods, and increase the cost effectiveness of humanitarian resources. In order to inform evidence based decision making for early intervention when crises hit, a set of standardized tools known as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) was developed in 2004 to assess the severity and magnitude of food insecurity in a given country or area. This project was formulated within the framework of the IPC Global Strategic Programme (GSP) 2019 2022. It supported: the overall structure of the IPC Global Support Unit (GSU); activities for the technical development, quality assurance and institutionalization of IPC; and the achievement of project specific deliverables for IPC capacity development and quality assurance at field level.

    Statistical production in Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) involves multiple stakeholders, including government ministries, National Statistics Offices (NSOs), regional organizations, and development partners, all committed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In the past decade, SIDS have made significant strides in statistical capacity strengthening; however, substantial challenges remain in meeting the growing demand for timely and quality data. Current challenges include inadequate funding, limited statistical expertise and processes and a lack of standardized indicators, which collectively undermine the ability to track progress and formulate data-driven policies.With the rapid advancement of technology and increasing complexity of data needs, Pacific SIDS and NSOs are employing several solutions to enhance the relevance, reliability and accessibility of their national statistics. They are leveraging new technologies and alternative data sources, such as mobile phone data and satellite imagery, to meet the rising expectations for real-time and granular data. There is also an emphasis on building capacity, utilizing existing data more effectively and improving coordination in data collection and analysis. This background paper on data and statistics in the Pacific was presented at the 2024 Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Solutions Forum 2024.
