  1. Assessing the inclusion of the agriculture sector in NSDSs (IDA countries) PARIS21 Secretariat Meeting on Agricultural Statistics, Maputo, 13-14 August 2009

  2. What is an NSDS? A National Strategy for the Development of Statistics is: A national plan with a vision for where NSS should be in 5-10 years time A prioritised and costed action plan for statistics and statistical capacity building to achieve the vision A framework for coordination arrangements: both across NSS and between Development Partners A framework for funding, both national and international NSDS has become a benchmark (donors’ community)

  3. An NSDS can help by: Integrating statistics within policy processes Looking across sectors, whole NSS Addressing data limitations Prioritising the use of resources Coordinating donor support Providing a robust framework and action plan for statistics and statistical capacity building Acting as a catalyst for change to build confidence and break the vicious cycle

  4. Where do we stand with NSDSs? 77% of IDA countries are implementing or designing a strategy:

  5. Where is agriculture in the NSDSs? Of a total of 78 IDA countries… 43 countries (55%) have a NSDS… 4 to 10 countries have included agriculture more or less appropriately in their NSDS only 10% of all IDA countries

  6. Inclusion of agricultural sub-sectors Crops are better covered (in 33% of strategies) … than livestock (20%) Fisheries, forestry and agro-industry ignored Where is agriculture in the NSDSs?

  7. Inclusion of agricultural statistical domains production (25% of the NSDS) prices (15%) other domains (trade, marketing, resources, consumption) are ignored for more than 90% of the existing strategies. Where is agriculture in the NSDSs?

  8. Why? First generation of NSDS was NSO-centric MDGs => efforts on health and education Statistical legislation covering the whole statistical system is not always appropriate Agriculture is a complex sector with many stakeholders and data producers Low capacities within Ministries of Agriculture

  9. Questions / points for discussions do we need specific guidelines on the integration of Agriculture strategies in NSDSs ? how can we improve our advocacy for statistics, strategic planning, managing for results –outside statistical community ? how can we use / reinforce NSDSs as national vehicle for this global strategy ?
