Resumen
Descripción
World Agriculture Watch (WAW) is proposing to implement a harmonized methodological framework to establish coherent global and local information systems, which will provide suitable information on the structure and performance of these diverse farms. It will then be possible to develop data sets to better target investment and policy frameworks. The performance of the farms is assessed using indicators and variables aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). National and regional family-farmer platforms will be key implementing partners and will benefit from these information systems.
The proposed WAW programme is made up of two components: country-specific projects and a global family farm mapping project, which will include sex-disaggregated data (SDG 5). These information tools will contribute to the implementation of the United Nations (UN) Decade of Family Farming (2019-28).
Country projects will be undertaken in 21 countries. WAW will provide all beneficiaries with: (1) a methodological framework based on an adaptable core set of variables and indicators, with sex-disaggregated data; (2) guidelines and capacity-building training to develop national agricultural observatory systems, and (3) access to WAW’s global networks and partner organizations.
As part of its global family farm mapping project, WAW will amalgamate existing data sets with new data gleaned from country-level activities, channelled to the initiative via the networks of WAW’s global partners. The project will provide an overview of the transformational changes underway in the global landscape of family farms for the UN Decade of Family Farming.
