Statistics Advisory Committee of Experts
Fourteenth Session

Rome, Italy, 15-16 September 2005

 

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE MEETING

The main role of the FAO Statistics Advisory Committee of Experts (SAC) is to:

  • Provide an outside perspective to our work, contributing to the priority setting process that is essential if our work programme is to remain focused on the needs of our users
  • Contribute to the improvement of the quality of FAO statistics
  • Reinforce FAO’s efforts for national agencies and other international organisations to adopt the statistical standards that have been developed by FAO in the area of food and agricultural statistics, in co-operation with Member countries.

In this respect, SAC is a key instrument in reinforcing the co-operation both among countries and international organizations and also between them. In particular, this body plays a leading role in orienting the future direction of the international statistical system in agriculture.

The SAC met for the first time in 1963, and for the last time in 2004.
