As of my observation, FAO should focus on the following issues for SPIs:
- Ensuring the credibility and the reliability of data on which the policy based on from different relevant stakeholders and reach at a conclusive evidence-based data that all parties/stakeholders trusted (it is common to read different results and conclusions from different organizations on the same agenda)
- The depth of data analysis including the skill of analysts also matters a lot therefore, there is a need to continual capacity building particularly data for policy making.
- There is a need to draw different showcases on failed polices due to low quality data particularly from different developing countries as lessons learnt.
