Development & Implementation of CountrySTAT
in Ethiopia
CountrySTAT Ethiopia is developed through the financial
and technical support obtained from FAO
The system is being implemented by the Central Statistics
Agency (CSA), in close collaboration with the Ministry of
Agriculture (MoA). Other major stakeholder institutions currently
involved in the implementation of CountrySTAT, among others,
include: Revenue and Customs Authority and National Meteorology
Agency (NMA).
CountrySTAT Ethiopia website was Launched on 15 March, 2011
The Website resides on the CSA Server
It is now directly accessible from the CSA Server

The CountrySTAT Technical Working Group
Meetings of representatives from the CSA and MoA
(CountrySTAT National Secretariat) were initially held to
identify and organize the CountrySTAT Technical Working
Group (TWG)
The members of the TWG were also identified during these
meetings
Seven professionals (from the CSA and MoA) were initially
involved in the TWG
One TWG meeting has so far been held (3-5 January 2011)
A 3-day training in the use of CountrySTAT was given to 15
TWG members drawn from different stakeholder national
institutions in April, 2011
The training was provided by 2 trainers from FAO CountrySTAT

TWG Meeting Approach in Data Collection and Validation
(harmonization, standardization & integration)
The TWG meeting was intended to include plenary sessions and
group discussions
To facilitate easier group work, 3 subgroups were formed and each
subgroup worked on 3 different sets of indicators
Datasets were checked and validated using online soft copies as well
as the hard copy publications of indicators
During the plenary sessions problems encountered by each subgroup
during data validation were discussed and resolved
Some datasets needed further verification and were checked and
validated later on after the meeting
During the 3 day meeting 18 different datasets were collected and
validated

Main Achievements of the CountrySTAT Project
More than 40 datasets from different sources have been collected,
validated and uploaded to the CountrySTAT Ethiopia website
The preparation and upload of comprehensive metadata along with
the respective indicators – it is useful for data users
CountrySTAT Ethiopia website is hosted locally on the CSA Server
(owned)
The collaboration among major national institutions producing
statistics on food and agriculture has been established and each
institution is represented in the TWG
The use of CountrySTAT has allowed countries to collect and
disseminate data according to the international standards
(standard concepts, definitions, classifications) – data comparability

Main Achievements . . .
The implementation of the CountrySTAT system has created an
additional opportunity to improve the quality of data.
(data validation, application of international standards, metadata etc.)
The use of CountrySTAT has also enabled end-users to obtain data
on food and agriculture from a single source.
Panorama Report I has been compiled and uploaded
The Correspondence Table between the national and FAO standard
classifications has been prepared and uploaded
