Resumen
Descripción
Despite considerable efforts to generate high-quality, reliable and accurate food security and nutrition data, most low and lower-middle-income countries still cannot cover basic data needs for evidence-based policies and investments, and the majority of them do not conduct regular household and agricultural surveys, lack sustainable data systems, and have insufficient capacity to analyse and use even the limited data at their disposal. For example, fewer than half of all Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Members are able to officially report their basic statistics on food and agriculture to the Organization. This basic and fundamental data is often the basis for monitoring key international processes such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change. With world hunger numbers rising since 2015 and COVID-19 which further exacerbated the situation, more accurate and reliable data are essential to set up policies and investment to address global hunger and malnutrition. The project was designed to assist in closing agricultural and food security and nutrition (FSN) data gaps and improve timely and accurate statistics to monitor SDG progress and assess the situation of small-scale producers.
