The 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap: National and Global Reporting with 50x2030 Data: Experiences from Georgia and Cambodia

This UNSC side event will present learnings from some of the first country engagements under the 50x2030 Initiative, which aims at supporting 50 low and lower-middle-income countries to fill gaps in the availability of agricultural and rural data through the use of novel integrated agricultural and rural surveys.

Specifically, the meeting will look at data generation for national indicators and Sustainable Development Goals (2.3.1, 2.3.2, 5.a.1 and 2.4.1) and will consist of a brief exploration of each theme with illustrations from Georgia and Cambodia, the first and fourth countries, respectively, to become 50x2030 partner countries. 
 
Representatives from the NSOs of each country will present on progress made in statistical capacity development in their countries. Examples of data dissemination and data use for policy application will also be presented. 
 
An extended Q&A session will give the audience an opportunity to pose questions to the two NSO representatives as well as to speak to their own challenges and learning in agricultural data generation and use.

WHEN | Friday, 18 February 2022, 9:00-10:15 AM (New York Time)
