Webinar | Information Systems for Agricultural Risk Management - (C) PARM/FARM-D 2017
Information is the main raw material for agricultural risk management (ARM). Without information there is no way to assess the likelihood and severity of different risks, no way to be prepared in advance or improve resilience, nor to agree on how to manage or transfer the risk to others.
The Platform for Agricultural Risk Management (PARM) in collaboration with FARM-D has organized a Webinar on January 26th 2017 to discuss with the author Alberto Garrido from CEIGRAM and main discussant Agnes Atyang from Uganda, the findings of the study recently published by PARM on “Informational Assessment of Agricultural Risk Management Information Systems (ARM-IS)” in 7 Africa Countries: Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Niger, Senegal and Uganda.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the availability and quality of information for agricultural risk management purposes and the timely and useful access by stakeholders at micro-meso-macro level. At country level, the scenario reflects often information systems thematic-focused and not integrated and harmonized in a more holistic system. There are significant gaps in information collection and access that often occur in a systematic manner across countries. These gaps create asymmetries and inefficiencies in the management of risks in the agriculture sector.
