Collecte de données de routine en Ouganda

The Uganda Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry, and Fisheries (MAAFF), including the department of animal production and marketing and the department of livestock health and entomology in the directorate of animal resources, is mandated to formulate and implement livestock sector policies, plans, and programs, as well as to control and manage animal epidemic diseases. Reliable livestock data and statistics are critical for MAAIF's mandate and generated by a variety of sources, including administrative records, surveys, and censuses. MAAIF recognizes that livestock data collection is a serious gap in Uganda, and the 2010 agriculture sector development strategy and investment plan aims at establishing a functioning agricultural statistics service providing timely and appropriate information to sector stakeholders.
