Descripción
Angola’s National Development Plan (NDP) for 2018–2022 identifies the agricultural, forestry and fishery sector as a key driver for economic and social development, aligning with an import substitution model. Despite its significance, the sector faces a structural challenge due to a lack of reliable data for monitoring key indicators. Target 2.3.2 of the NDP prioritizes the establishment of the National Integrated System for Agricultural Statistics. Presently, the Office of Planning, Studies and Statistics (GEPE) at MINAGRIF leads the Agricultural Statistics Information System, relying on two surveys per year with basic data. However, three structural constraints impede the development of robust data: a) a shortage of trained human resources, as the statistical staff lacks a relevant academic background; b) insufficient economic resources, hindering data collection and analysis; and c) a scarcity of technological resources, with outdated equipment and the absence of data processing software. These constraints affect all stages of the Data Value Chain for Agricultural Statistics (DVCAS).
