BACKGROUND
The African Commission on Agricultural Statistics
(AFCAS) is a statutory body of the FAO and meets in session every
two years. The FAO Conference at its Eleventh Session (1961) approved
the creation of the regional Agricultural Statistical Commission
for Africa. The Commission was accordingly established by the Director-General
in October, 1962.
AFCAS brings together senior statistics officials
from FAO member countries of the African continent, who are responsible
for the development of agricultural statistics in their respective
countries. They review and exchange ideas on the state of food and
agricultural statistics in the continent and advise member countries
on the development of their agricultural statistical systems within
FAO's programme of Work and Budget for Africa.
The previous Session of the Commission was held in
Yaounde, Cameroon in 2003.
PURPOSE OF THE MEETING
The conference aims are to review the state of food
and agricultural statistics in the African Region and advise Member
Nations on the development and standardization of agricultural statistics
within the general framework of FAO's work in statistics, and to
convene study groups or other Subsidiary Bodies of national experts
required for this purpose.
A back-to-back technical workshop will be organised
20-22 October 2005 at the same venue.
MEMBERSHIP
Member Nations and Associate Members whose territories
are situated wholly or partly in the African Region or who are responsible
for the international relations of any non-self-governing territories
in the Region.
