  3. Integrating agricultureinto NSS (2) Design, implementation of SSPARS in the framework of NSDS NSDS: (National Strategies for the Development of Statistics) Long-term vision of statistical development of a country with a detailed and a costed action plan covering the entire production process of official statistics, developed in a participatory process Success depending on 4 factors: • strong commitment of the government • ownership of the country • mobilization of adequate funding • quality dialogue with technical and financial partners International benchmark • Only one country in Africa with no statistical strategy

  4. Integrating agricultureinto NSS (3) Design, implementation of SSPARS in the framework of NSDS SSPARS:(Sector Strategic Plan for Agricultural and rural statistics) = building block of agriculture into NSDS • Long-term vision of statistical development of a country in the agricultural sector with a detailed and costed action plan covering the whole production of official agriculturalstatistics,developed through a participatory process • SSPARS are integrated into the overall NSDS process where countries have already a strategy • SSPARS may be designed independently when countries do not have an NSDS

  5. Process • Country assessments • National Sector Plans (Specific guidelines) • Helping the region a s a whole (workshops) • Helping target countries to design SSPARS and develop integrated statistical system • Helping countries to build mechanisms for implementing SSPARS
