The 50x2030 Initiative launches its Medium-Term Report highlighting six years of results
The 50x2030 Initiative has released its Medium-Term Report (2019–2025), marking six years of progress in supporting countries to close agricultural data gaps and strengthen national agricultural data systems.
Since its launch in 2019, the Initiative has worked with partner countries to implement agricultural surveys, strengthen statistical capacity, and promote the use of data for policymaking and investment planning in the agriculture sector.
Over this period, it has contributed to expanding the availability and quality of agricultural data, while supporting countries in building sustainable, nationally owned data systems.
Key results include:
- 65+ million smallholder farmers reached through agricultural surveys, including households in fragile and vulnerable contexts, strengthening the visibility of underrepresented populations across participating countries.
- 63 agricultural surveys completed in 26 countries
- 200+ technical trainings delivered to national statistical offices and implementing partners, covering questionnaire development and survey design (including sampling design), CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) systems and IT/software adoption, data cleaning, editing, and processing workflows and SDG-related data anonymization, analysis, and dissemination
The report also highlights progress toward long-term sustainability, with an increasing number of countries moving toward government-led and government-funded agricultural data systems.
