[Forum SIS] Consulenti per la the Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics

[Carfagna Elisabetta]

Cari Colleghi,

Vi scrivo nel mio attuale ruolo di Research Coordinator of the Global
Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics (
http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3082e/i3082e.pdf ).

Svolgo questo ruolo presso la FAO, che sta guidando l’implementazione della
Global Strategy.

Avrei bisogno di reclutare prima possibile esperti nelle seguenti tematiche:

·         Improving the use of  GPS, GIS and RS for setting up a master
sampling frame (da completare entro il 2013, gli altri da completare entro
il 2014)

·         Identifying the most appropriate area frame for specific
landscape types

·         Improvement of estimation of crop area, yield and production

·         Improving methods for estimating crop area, yield,  production of
mixed crops, repeated and continuous cropping

·         Developing methods for estimating yields of root crops

·         Developing more efficient and accurate methods for using remote
sensing

·         Evaluating the cost-efficiency of remote sensing in developing
countries

·         Improving the quality of administrative data

·         Developing more efficient and more robust methods for using
administrative data

·         Integrate small scale fishery and aquaculture in master sampling
frame

·         Developing robust and statistically based methods for spatial
disaggregation and for integration of  various kinds of geographical
information and geo-referenced survey data

·         Improving methods for estimating livestock and livestock products.

Potete trovare maggiore dettaglio nel capitolo 7 (Research plan)
dell’Action Plan of the Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural
Statistics (http://www.fao.org/docrep/016/i3082e/i3082e.pdf).

Trovate sotto l’ elenco delle attività da svolgere per ciascun tema di
ricerca.

Sarebbe preferibile che tali consulenti potessero trascorrere vari giorni
alla FAO a Roma e a Ispra, per i temi di ricerca per i quali `e prevista la
collaborazione con il Joint Research Centre di Ispra:

·         Improving the use of GPS, GIS and Remote Sensing for setting up a
master sampling frame

·         Identifying the most appropriate area frame for specific
landscape types

·         Evaluating the cost efficiency of remote sensing in developing
countries

·         Developing robust and statistically based methods for spatial
disaggregation and for integration of various kinds of geographical
information and geo-referenced survey data.

Inoltre, la FAO sta per pubblicare un bando per un posto a progetto P2
statistician - research officer, per 2 anni con possibilità`a di estensione
(probabilmente per 4 anni complessivi). Questa persona avrà il compito di
supportarmi nello svolgimento e nel coordinamento delle attività di
ricerca. Poiché’e la procedura di selezione richiede tempo, ho bisogno di
un consulente che lavori stabilmente alla FAO che svolga questo compito
subito. In particolare, il consulente dovrebbe avere competenze specifiche
nel campionamento (anche areale) nelle statistiche agricole, nella
statistica spaziale e nell’ uso di dati tele rilevati.

Vi prego di inviare i vostri messaggi all’ indirizzo
elisabetta.carfagna a fao.org.

Vi ringrazio e vi rivolgo cari saluti,
Elisabetta Carfagna
