General objective

Strengthen regional capacity for the implementation of the 2030 round of the World Census of Agriculture by systematizing and disseminating good practices and lessons learned from the 2020 round. 

Specific objectives 

1. Identify and prioritize the key components of agricultural census processes to be analysed, drawing on the experiences of countries that participated in the 2020 round. Activities will include compiling a comprehensive list of census processes and conducting a survey of countries to prioritize the components considered most relevant. This list will subsequently be technically validated by the participating countries.
2. Facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experiences on the prioritized components among member countries. To this end, virtual and in-person meetings, where feasible, will be held to address each of the components previously identified.
3. Research, examine and systematize good practices associated with the selected components. Countries will prepare documents describing the measures implemented and lessons learned for each aspect.
4. Consolidate the findings in a technical document to be widely disseminated among countries of the region, with the aim of supporting the planning and implementation of their upcoming agricultural censuses.
