CountrySTAT is an integrated national food and agriculture statistical information system ensuring harmonization of national data and metadata collections for analysis and policy making. The webbased system is developed since May 2004 using PX-Web at FAO headquarters and successfully tested in the statistical offices of Kyrgyz Republic, Kenya, and Ghana during 2005.

Administrative and Descriptive Metadata Matrix specific footnotes - stored as part of the matrix
Administrative metadata provides information to help manage a resource, such as when and how it was created, file type and other technical information, and who can access it.
Descriptive metadata describes a resource for purposes such as discovery and identification. It can include elements such as title, abstract, author, and keywords.
Structural metadata indicates how compound objects are put together, for example, how pages are ordered to form chapters.

Data Exchange
Data Use
Member Nations have requested FAO’s assistance in establishing or further developing their own statistical information systems. FAO Statistics Division has decided to respond to that request with CountrySTAT[1]. An informal international expert consultation meeting on CountrySTAT enriched the principle response with concrete features in July 2003[2].

CountrySTAT: Operational Status in detail
CountrySTAT: Operational Status by Countries and Regions as of September 2005.
The selection process of the pilot countries has been based upon a multi-criteria roster, for which quality of data and methodology as well as FAO Statistical Division’s experiences made with the offices was essential. In addition, infrastructural questions like internet availability, (potential) unity of data collections and last not least the strong willingness of the top managerial support for such a project was important. The partnerships were intentionally based on a low financial contribution from FAO side to emphasize and ensure a partnership on equal basis.
The CountrySTAT statistical system is aiming to match the needs of policy makers and researchers on the national level based on the FAOSTAT statistical methodologies. FAO has set up prototypes of CountrySTAT systems in partnership with national statistical offices of three pilot countries in Kyrgyz Republic, Kenya, and Ghana. These pilot studies are representing typical conditions of countries in which the primary sector is of major importance for the food security as well as the development of the country.
All pilot studies are utilizing the core CountrySTAT framework and have a series of key domains alias thematic folders related to the food and agriculture sector. For example, the core framework includes price and quantity modules based on primary production of crops and livestock.
Final evaluations of the pilot studies will focus on the underlying statistical framework and analytical methodologies employed as well the information technology solutions employed to meet the needs of the countries as well as for the semantic and formal needs of regional and international agricultural statistical data exchangers. The CountrySTAT project will give specific recommendations on how to proceed with CountrySTAT approach in order to optimize efforts on national, regional, and international level for national agricultural statistical information systems as a decision support tool.

FAOSTAT2 and CountrySTAT Common Statistical Framework (The Core): The scope of the CountrySTAT framework that encompasses the quantitative, economic, agro-environmental, and social as well as food-security aspects of the primary sector in the partner countries. CountrySTAT shares the analytical framework of FAOSTAT accounts as a basis for its core data sets.
In all CountrySTAT participating offices each CountrySTAT System’s core is structured in the same rigid way, thus once a user has familiarized himself with CountrySTAT Core Structure he will be able to navigate immediately in any other CountrySTAT system.

Further to the Core, countries are flexibly organizing their matrixes with extended levels of statistical data in their way of looking at the subjects under “CountrySTAT – Details”. These satellite modules with detailed, specialized data collections can be structured according to the requirements of the country.
Every table/matrix can be associated to more than one thematic folder, within as well as across the core and detailed thematic modules.

By definition, the two entities FAOSTAT and CountrySTAT evolve together in complete synchronization of their principles on data and metadata classification and organization. The described organization of the data collections in the CountrySTAT system corresponds to the analytical framework of core and satellite modules that is also commonly shared by CountrySTAT and FAOSTAT approaches and builds the semantic link between FAOSTAT and CountrySTAT data and metadata collections.
