Resumo: | A major push supporting improved data collection and                         analysis is required if African                         countries are to successfully design and implement results-                         based Poverty Reduction Strategy                         Programs (PRSP) and the Comprehensive Africa Agricultural                          Development Program                         (CAADP) being promoted by the New Partnership for African                         Development (NEPAD).                         Over the years there have been many initiatives to build                         statistical capacity in Africa. Many                         problems have plagued these efforts, including inadequate                         funding and the stop-go                         phenomenon. Recently the World Bank and development                         partners began a major new                         commitment to support Africa-wide improvements in                         statistical data through the Accelerated                         Data Program for Africa (ADP). It is hoped that this program                         will be more successful than                         previous programs by placing countries at the center of the                         program and building on the                         PRSP process.                         To improve the effectiveness of this effort the World Bank                         (WB ) Africa Region contracted                         with the Department of Agricultural Economics at Michigan                         State University (MSU) to carry                         out a desk study of the agricultural statistics programs in four                          countries: Mali, Zambia,                         Mozambique, and Rwanda. The objectives of the study are to:                         • draw on existing experience to review the institutional                         arrangements for the collection                         of agricultural statistics;                         • describe how information is collected and provided to meet                         macro and micro level                         policy requirements; and                         • identify ways to make the process more efficient and                         effective.
