Improving Access to Data for Zero Hunger Decisions
- 1. Data & Evidence for SDG2 Improving Access And Use of Evidence for Decision-Making for Zero Hunger MUCHIRI NYAGGAH
- 7. The Malabo Declaration Scorecard and biennial review report covers Seventhemes, Forty Three performance indicators, with more than Twenty MDAs, local & international development partner data sources
- 8. Thirty two countries submitted more than 70% data Kenya provided 88% of data required. Nine indicators had no data
- 9. LDRI’s Malabo Open Data Study A continental study on open data on 152 datasetsused to compute 37 performance indicators for the Malabo Declaration A Fourcountry pilot has been completed and was published on 26th February 2019
- 10. Initial Results - Kenya Fifty twopercent of data was found online Published by thirty eightpercent of the MDAs Zerothemes had all the data available Only thirteenindicators (35%) had all their data available
- 12. Lack of a framework for coordination poses an existential threat to mutual accountability for Zero Hunger
- 13. Failure to invest in institutional strengthening as a deliberate part of the means of implementation for Zero Hunger will put our ambitions at risk.
- 14. Prioritizing delivery of data and evidence for decision making over data for reporting could result in better development outcomes
- 15. Three Suggestions 1. Make deliberate investments in strengthening institutions 2. Strengthen coordination on data to bring a whole-of-government approach to Zero Hunger 3. Mandate opennessto support mutual accountability
Hinweis der Redaktion
- This presentation will provide insights on how the right enabling environment can improve availability of data. It will also highlight areas where good examples exist and where governments and partners need to invest time and leadership going forward to ensure data for SDG2 is available, accessible and used.
- LDRI is an action-oriented think tank that exists to support efforts of AU member states in ending hunger, extreme poverty and reducing inequality.
- We believe capable developmental states are a key enabler for the realization of development goals such as zero hunger, ending poverty and reducing inequality. These states would require strong institutions with the capability to use and share evidence for decision making. For this to happen, they need to have the right human capital, an enabling environment and sustainable financing for the origination, use and sharing of evidence for policy making.
- In 2014, African Union heads of state and government converged on Malabo, Equatorial Guinea for the 23rd Ordinary Session of the Assembly. The theme for this assembly was Agriculture and Food Security in Africa. “Africa excluding North Africa remains the most food-deficient of all regions of the world, with 25 per cent of its population having faced hunger and malnutrition during the 2011-2013 period, a modest 8 per cent improvement from the level experienced during the 1990-1992 period.” UNECA MDG Progress Report 2015
- There was coordination between state and non state partners on discovering, analyzing and reporting for Malabo is done in a framework that is established by the government.
- However, opening up of the data that underlies the indicators has no coordination or support superstructure and the results are quite different.
- If the Biennial Review report was to be prepared using only data that is open, only 35% of the indicators would have been reported.
- While we are still conducting our study on the aspects of human capital, enabling environment and sustainable financing for data related to the Malabo declaration (and consequently Goal 2), we have so far observed the following;
- Strengthening institutions to ensure they are capable to deliver on the country’s development agenda through evidence informed approaches should be a primary part of our means of implementation.
- An analysis of the data required to respond to the desire for zero hunger shows governments have some progress that still needs to be made. Access to data for decision making in government has showed there is a considerable level of effort that goes into gaining access due to poor knowledge management, lack of infrastructure and absence or lack of enforcement of policy related to management and sharing of data. If the data is exists but can’t be found there’s a risk that there are parts of government that are duplicating expenditure, effort and time to originate the same numbers/evidence. And efforts for mutual accountability remain at risk.
