Strengths Multi-disciplinarity Good working connections within FAO (AFIS, ESS, SDR, etc) Developed partnerships outside FAO Systematic medium to long-term approach Standardization & automation Weaknesses Essential human resources on extra-budgetary funding Integration of information held within AGA sub-optimal Data quality often poor Strengths & Weaknesses
Increase scope, resolution & quality of information • Scope: integration of information on feed production / use, breeds, production performance, holding sizes etc • Resolution: increase number of country projects and develop 1 km raster maps on livestock numbers & production • Quality: improve review process through use of FAOR network and relevant national authorities Prospects, Aspirations
Enhance data mgmt functionalities • Display of raster data • Overlay capabilities • Calculation of simple statistics • Automation of updating • Remote data management (eg by selected partners in regions) Prospects, Aspirations
