No results found.The Fish Farming Centre project (UTFN/SAU/010/SAU) demonstrates little productive progress for its four years of existence. This appears to be due to three factors, namely (1) the initial relocation of the site which caused some logistical difficulties but primarily established a lack of enthusiasm towards the project by the staff, (2) the lack of a well defined short-term programme with objectives attainable for an inexperienced national team, and (3) lack of well directed and determined leader ship by the expatriate staff. Of the three factors, the third has been the greatest constraint to the project, as firm leadership could have resolved the first two. With the present low level of project outputs and technical progress, the author opines that the project could be discontinued without any loss to the advancement of the art of aquaculture. However, it would be a loss to the country which has stated its intentions to assist the private sector to exploit suitable opportunities in aq uaculture. After reviewing (1) the facilities of the Fish Farming Centre, (2) the current aquaculture operations and past results with the project staff, and (3) the construction drawings for the proposed facility, the author has worked with the staff to draw up some well defined short-term goals to be fulfilled in the interim before the new facility is completed (about July 1986), and which can be continued with the new facility. These agreed immediate objectives are summarized below: -
DocumentStatistical Capacity Country Profile for SDG Indicators (Saudi Arabia)
Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG Indicators 2018/19
2019The Office of the Chief Statistician (OCS) conducted the Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG indicators in early 2019 to provide insights about member countries' national statistical systems in regard to their capacity to monitor and report the 21 SDG indicators under FAO custodianship. The survey collected information on the national coordination mechanisms for the SDG reporting, current data availability and plans for filling data gaps, and needs for technical assistance. The respondents were mainly the National Coordinators for SDG Monitoring or the SDG focal points nominated by the Directors General of National Statistics Offices. The results will assist FAO-HQ and decentralized offices in designing targeted interventions and mobilizing resources to support countries in collecting, analyzing and using the SDG indicators in decision-making.
