Recommendations and Conclusions GTFS/RAF/465/ITA EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group 08 – 10 November 2012 Lusaka, Zambia

EAC RegionSTAT Regional TWG Recommendations and Conclusions Finalize priority list of crops considering the data available in the 5 EAC countries. Each country should propose 10 crops that are important to them, and this input will allow the EAC to define the short-list.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions ACTION: The TWG members suggested that the regional statistician for the project should follow up with the Principal Economist of the EAC, Moses Marwa, for the list of priority crops for each EAC country from the regional Food Balance Sheet.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions The TWG members agreed that where certain indicators existed for livestock and other related indicators were missing, it could be possible to derive those missing from the existing data to fill the gaps. For example, to fill gaps related to slaughtered animals where quantities of meat are provided gaps could be filled using the average weight of live animals, average weight of hides and skins by each animal provided by the Ministry of Livestock in each country.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions Producer prices are collected using different methodologies in the 5 EAC countries. We cannot have comparable figures in the EAC countries. Different countries use different currencies. –ACTION: At the regional level the units should be USD for all price related indicators. –ACTION: Paul N’Goma-Kimbatsa can share/send to all TWG members Producer Price Methodology, and inform Carola Fabi of the requirement for follow up with the EAC Secretariat

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions Machinery plays a very important role towards increasing agricultural productivity and oftentimes its use is inadequate in the region. Therefore as a data domain machinery should rise in priority due to its importance in agriculture. In order to increase the investment in machinery, it is important to ensure data is available.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions Population Projections can sometimes be quite different from actual population values resulting from the population census. Countries would like to display both values, but indicating the population projection versus the value coming from the census. This is a point that could also be explained in the metadata. –ACTION: Julia Stone must follow up with the project statistician on how this can be noted in the CountrySTAT system giving the example of provisional and actual crop production figures.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions Some colleagues within the EAC are missing codes for some fisheries indicators. –ACTION: Alex Mwaniki of CountrySTAT Kenya will share with his colleagues the codes for fish from the region as he has already done work on this in the correspondence table. This may aid his colleagues for the classification of their fish species.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions The EAC must support the efforts of the 5 CountrySTATs in the dissemination of rainfall data. In Burundi the meteorological data is free of charge. In Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda the CountrySTAT National Coordinator is expected to pay for it, and this affects the level of consistency of the data across the 5 CountrySTATs. There could be data gaps which affect the regional presentation of these indicators, and ultimately there are sharing agreements to considering with national Meteorological Offices. It doesn’t make sense for data to be paid for, and then put on a site and freely distributed.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions Key Indicators should be regionally aggregated. At the moment this page is static, but it must be possible to aggregate from the 5 countries. CountrySTAT should look closely at how data is exchanged between countries and how notifications are sent. It is clear that the Regional Statistician was involved in performing data analysis without having a clear indication of when updates were made available.

EAC RegionSTAT Regional Technical Working Group Recommendations and Conclusions From the IT side it is important to evaluate the tools required by those analysing data at the regional level. Again the Regional Statistician has had to download a number of files from all countries, and he has been working in parallel with efforts in countries to update their sites. Therefore he needs tools that allow him to work online and in real time. The time spent to download data and analyse it could be cut dramatically with online tools.
