RE: What can we do to improve food security data? | Eval Forward

Dear Emile

Answering to your questions is highly complex in terms of collecting data and collecting quality data.

See below my answers, which I hope will somewhat help you or that we can come together to improve the data collection.

  • How can we monitor and evaluate efficiently progress towards the SDG2 – End Hunger if we cannot count on reliable data and consequent statistics and indicators?

All SDGs are complex, unable to be determined through direct data and most data vary from community to community.

  • Do you think there are also weakness and  challenges in data collection in your country?

Yes we do have same issues. Departments of censers and statistics are not able to identify the data collection methodologies for SDGs. Practically it has been a nightmare to them.

Another issue is that we could be able to gather many quality data could through CSO's. But those data are not being sharing at national level and within the organization. Therefore, we are losing quality data and useful data.

Therefore, how do you address this issues?

Then it comes to "Big Data". How accurate and viable when you know that we are missing some data?
