Synopsis (short abstract) FAO AGRISurvey programme helps countries strengthening their national agricultural surveys systems and promotes the access and use of agricultural statistics. The programme supports countries in monitoring the targets set by the 2030 Development Agenda for the agricultural sector. In particular, the programme has provided support to Cambodia, Senegal and Uganda in monitoring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Indicators 2.3.1, 2.3.2, 2.4.1 and 5.a.1. This brief presents the example of Cambodia, Senegal and Uganda to demonstrate how the Programme can make the difference in improving the country capacity to monitor the progress of the agricultural sector and to use the data for policy design. The activities in the three countries will continue under the 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap.

    The AGRISurvey programme is a country-led initiative aimed at strengthening countries’ agricultural surveys systems and promoting access to agricultural statistics. The programme supports countries in enhancing evidence-based decision making at national level and in monitoring the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators, particularly those related to agriculture. The AGRISurvey programme was launched in 2017 and ended in 2021. Activities continue under the 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap.

    Initial achievements of FAO's AGRISurvey programme in Senegal 2019

    The AGRISurvey Programme supports countries to strengthen their national system of agricultural surveys with the aim of enhancing evidence-based policy making in the agricultural sector. The programme complements the efforts and resources of partner countries for the implementation of their Strategic Plans on Agricultural Statistics supporting the collection and dissemination of survey data. The Enquete Annuelle Agricole (EAA) is the main source of agricultural statistics in Senegal and is carried out by the Senegalese Directorate of Analysis, Forecasting and Agricultural Statistics (DAPSA). It estimates the production of the most important rain-fed crops produced by agricultural households, using the crop-cutting method. It also provides information on the physical characteristics of cultivated plots (geo location, area) and major investments made (agricultural inputs, cultural operations, soil management and restoration). Structural data, such as agricultural equipment, agricultural income, agricultural risks and adaptation strategies, are also collected once every three years. The EAA covers the entire country and generates representative production estimates for 14 regions and 42 agricultural departments of Senegal. Since 2017, FAO has been providing technical and financial assistance to the Government of Senegal to expand the Enquete Annuelle Agricole based on the AGRISurvey methodology. Following the implementation of AGRISurvey many improvements can be observed, from the expansion of scope of the survey, to a better data precision, improved data access and dissemination and reduction of costs and time for data collection.
