Statistics at FAO
FAO
develops methods and standards for food and agriculture statistics,
provides technical assistance services and disseminates data for global
monitoring. Statistical activities at FAO include the development and
implementation of methodologies and standards for data collection,
validation, processing and analysis. FAO also plays a vital part in the
global compilation, processing and dissemination of food and agriculture
statistics, and provides essential statistical capacity development to
member countries.
FAO has a decentralized statistical system and
statistical activities cover the areas of agriculture, forestry and
fisheries, land and water resources and use, climate, environment,
population, gender, nutrition, poverty, rural development, education and
health as well as many others.
FAO Statistical Programme of Work
The FAO Statistical Programme of Work is a collaborative effort that is overseen by the Chief Statistician and supported by the Inter-Departmental Working Group on Statistics. These two mechanisms ensure strengthened coordination and cooperation on statistical matters and guarantee the high quality of FAO data.
The Statistical Programme of Work
provides a summary of all of the principal statistical activities at
FAO, and a detailed description of all the individual statistical
activities carried out by FAO Divisions active in the field of
statistics. It presents the organization’s operational activities
according to different statistical categories and domains.
It is an important tool for improving effective
coordination, reducing duplication in data collection and methodological
work, and for stimulating joint efforts among international
organizations in many areas.
