  2. Introduction • One of many reasons identified by the Global Strategy to explain the decline in the quantity and quality of agricultural and rural development statistics in most developing countries and particularly in Africa: -> insufficient integration; -> Lack of adequate technical tools and infrastructures ; -> Lack of adequate statistical methodology; -> Lack of adequate survey framework to support data production efforts.

  3. WHY RESEARCH? • Contribute to a significant improvement of data quality • By developing and disseminating sound and cost-effective methodologies and tools • New opportunities: • technological advances (GIS, remote sensing, GPS, PDA, CAPI etc.) • Successful experiences in some countries

  4. PURPOSE • Purpose of research component • Comprehensive and integrated research program • Framework for coordinating efforts of experts from various regions to address methodological issues • Effective data collection, processing, dissemination • Data related to current and emerging statistical needs • Research programme largely discussed • Purpose of the presentation • Present and Discuss the research programme • Receive feedbacks • Relevance of proposed topics • Strategy for implementation
