National coverage, some international standardisation

Increasing international coverage and compliance

Initiatives to increase integration

Paris21

Marrakech Action Plan for Stats

Initiatives to increase availability of disaggregate data

International Household Survey Network

Much still of doubtful quality

IP culture at national finer scales still rewards data ownership not data supply

Coverage patchy

raw and processed layers

multiple scales

multiple time points

standardisation in formats

90 data sets compiled

meta data available, searchable

Protocols

including complex questions

one-off, rarely repeated

limited geographic scope

even if multi-country

little standardisation in indicators and definitions

Often very small sample size with poorly defined sampling frame

between short term funded projects and their host organisations

Note OECD standards for public availability of data from public funded research

Few incentives for ensuring long term security and access

Few quality assurance and documentation standards

Limited repositories

A outdated culture of data ownership rather than provision

Inter-centre Research Data Management Workshop agreed

Data provision and sharing should become an objective of the CG centres

Incentives to share data to be developed

Maximise value of other initiatives to collate studies by providing a facility for long term archiving and access

Provide links to other data sources, particularly those that put agriculture in context (environmental, social, economic)

Develop methods to increase data generation efficiency

Support development of national and regional data generation and integration services

Minimum data sets

Definitions

Methods that build on other wide scale surveys

Codebooks

Quality assurance

Confidentiality

Problems:

confounders

multiple causes

proximal and underlying
