Background

• Short-back budget constraints US2mil available
• Data Needs Assessment Study identify actors
  (producers) sustainability of the agric. system
• Stakeholders Workshop diverse
  (Decision-makers, researchers, Farmers
  Associations) aims reaching consensus for
  cost-efficiency purpose

Background Contd,,,

• Strategy was designed aimed at
• avoiding duplication of efforts fill data gaps
  through provision of accurate, reliable and
  timely agricultural data and information for
  analysis, planning decision making purpose.
• Identification of most appropriate methods and
  means of collecting data
• MDG Poverty alleviation, food security and
  women participation
• Design
• 1st stage complete enumeration (data at district
  level) to attain a agricultural holding frame
• 2nd stage sampling

Follow-up surveys

Conclusion

• Budget constraints (mere US2 mil availed)
• Priority Crop and livestock supplementary
  modules due to consideration of MDGs and data.
• Possible inclusion of other modules if budget
  allows.
• Thematic surveys Annual crop survey, livestock
  inventory survey, Labourforce survey,
  Agricultural Services Survey
