Objectives and organization of the workshop
The workshop on Improving Statistics for Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture and Rural
Development – Action Plan for Africa (2011-2015) held in Kigali from 19th
to 21st June
2012 was jointly organized by the National Institute of Statistics Rwanda (NISR), Food
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and African Development Bank
(AfDB.
The main objective of the workshop was to appraise the participants on the Action Plan for
Africa (2011-2015) of the Global Strategy on Improving Agriculture and Rural Statistics, and
to train them on the effective use of the Country Assessment instrument/tools for compiling
information related to agriculture statistical capacity needs (See the agenda of the meeting in
Annex 1).
The workshop was attended by 86 participants including agricultural statistics experts from
Ministries of Agriculture and National Statistical Offices (NSO) from regional member
countries, and representatives and development partners from United Nations Economic
Commission for Africa (ECA), Africa Union Commission (AUC), Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO), US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the UK
Department for International Development (DfID), and the World Bank (See the list of
participants in Annex 2).
The opening ceremony of the workshop was officiated by the Resident Representative for the
AfDB in Rwanda, the Director General of NISR and the Division Manager of Statistical
Capacity Building of the African Development Bank (AfDB).
Topics presented and discussed at the Workshop
a) Global Strategy for Improving Statistics for Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture,
and Rural Development.
b) Action Plan for Africa (2011-2015) of the Global Strategy
i. Governance arrangements
ii. Technical Assistance component
iii. Training Component
iii. Research Component
c) Use of the Country Assessment instruments/tools:
i. Questionnaires
ii. Online application for data capture and submission.
d) Operational arrangements for compiling country assessment data at country levels.
Outcomes of the workshop
The workshop participants appreciated the workshop on the Action Plan and its potential to
improve agricultural and rural statistics in Africa, and agreed on the way forward regarding
the conduct of the country assessment instruments, the web-based application for country
assessment, and operational arrangements for compiling country assessment data at national
level (See Annex 3). In brief, the country assessment instruments developed were adopted
2
with some few changes being proposed. The same applies to the web-based application to be
used for the country assessment data entry, submission and management. Participants agreed
also on clear operational arrangements that would ensure the sustainability and country
ownership of the implementation of the Action Plan for Africa. In that respect, they
recommended that the ICP model should be used as reference. In order to ease
communication, share information and experiences between countries, it was recommended
that a web-based Forum of Agricultural Statisticians in Africa (FASIA) should be established
and integrated into the online Country Assessment application. As a way forward, a roadmap
for the implementation of the country assessment as well as other related activities was
adopted (See Annex 4).

Annex 3 – Major resolutions
The Major Resolutions of the
Agricultural Statistics Country Assessment workshop in Kigali,
Rwanda from the 19th- 21st June 2012 Introduction
Participants from 36 African countries and development partners including AU, AfDB, ECA,
FAO, DfID, USDA/NASS (see list of participants in annex) represented during this workshop
on the Country Assessment of agricultural statistics as part of the Action Plan for Africa
within the Global Strategy for Improving Statistics for Food Security, Sustainable
Agriculture, and Rural Development, have extensively deliberated on the overall contents of
the strategy, its governance mechanism, technical components and implementation
arrangement. Having done so, detailed discussions have been held on the Country
Assessment framework and the role of countries in ensuring the successful implementation of
the action plan.
The objective of the workshop was to appraise the participants on the action plan for Africa
and train them on the effective use of the developed country assessment instruments in
compiling information related to agriculture statistical capacity needs.
The participants read and appreciated the Action Plan for Africa and its components as a
major initiative for improving agricultural statistics in Africa, and urged partners to support
follow-up activities.
As a result, the following resolution with regards to the instruments used for the country
assessment, online application and the operational arrangements have been endorsed.
1) Instruments of the Country Assessment
i. Questionnaire content
i. To implement the suggested corrections of editing of the both versions
(English and French) and reflect it on the online application.
ii. Should be identical to the online application. For example the columns
on Module 1 section 2.1 in reference to institutions responsible.
ii. Online Application
The participants acknowledged and recognized the online application as
option 1 for administering the country assessment framework. Having
done so, the participants have forwarded the following improvements on
the online application:
i. The system should have flexible in-built skip patterns that enable
respondents to navigate between various tabs and questions
depending on the availability or non-availability of data.
ii. In addition to the minimum core data sets, the design of the online
application should be flexible to capture other important products
not listed in the system.
11
iii. Read only access to all other key users (such as line ministries and
sub-sectors) besides the country coordinator and data entrant.
iv. The Definitions, concepts and classifications used should be in-line
with international standards. For example the case of livestock
nomenclature.
v. To provide the possibility of uploading offline excel version data to
the online application.
vi. To provide online help or user guide (in both languages) to help
ease the data entry. The guide should also clarify the validation
rules for respondents.
vii. To provide the respective national coordinators with the access to
database after the submission/validation of the assessment
questionnaires.
2) Operational Arrangement
i. Ensure provision of resources to enable countries implement the action plan.
To this end the ICP initiative may be used as a reference.
ii. In order to ensure sustained ownership of the Action Plan for Africa and its
implementation, countries are responsible for the establishment of the
governance structure at national level.
iii. The participants agreed on the way forward and the time line of the next steps
of activities which is annexed with this resolution.
