Descripción
The National Census of Agriculture and Livestock (NACA) is a national survey designed to be conducted every 10 years, the most recent of which was conducted in 2006-2007. The overall objective of the NACA is to provide data for evidence-based decision-making and improved capacity for planning agriculture and rural development. Specifically, the NACA provides data on food and agricultural production required for monitoring food security and estimating agricultural and development programmes, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III (2017-2022). In this context and given the importance of this activity in the country, the Government of Malawi, through the National Statistical Office (NSO), requested technical support from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to prepare and conduct the NACA in 2020. NACA Phase 1 consisted of the preparation of the census and sampling design, sample design of households, detailed work plan development, and the budget for the census. The TCP supported the activities in Phase 1. Phase 2 will include technical support during the data collection, field work, reporting and dissemination of the survey and census findings. The design and implementation of the project addressed the management of the necessary activities to carry out the 2020 NACA, responding to national priorities, specifically making data available to inform evidence-based decision-making.
