24 - 27 October 2005, Maputo, Mozambique
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 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.
