There is a need to develop integrated national data systems at regional, national, and international levels to prevent misuse of data and promote sustainable development. Examples of successful integrated national data systems include South Africa's government program monitoring, Nepal's data literacy program, and Estonia's system for managing personal citizen data. An integrated national data system for agriculture could enhance productivity, reduce waste, and save natural resources by identifying optimal land usage, mapping growing conditions, predicting sowing/harvest times, and coordinating logistics and storage based on real-time data analysis.

- 1. Topic: Something important that you have learned during this course that examines the use of data for development purposes in the context of your own work or community setting Course: WBGx DBL01x - Data for Better Lives: A New Social Contract
- 2. Understanding role of data in development – a theory of change Source: WDR 2021 report Data can be created, exchanged, disseminated, reused, repurposed by various actors (individual, private sector and public sector) as per their need to draw insights for constructive sustainabledevelopment
- 3. Since 1990, the global trade in data-driven services has grown exponentially and now constitutes half of trade in services Source: WDR 2021 report
- 4. However, there needs to be a well-defined social contract to prevent misuse of data by various actors… Source: WDR 2021 report Can be prevented by creating various layers of governance at nationaland internationallevels
- 5. Hence, there is a need to develop an integrated national data system (INDS) at region, nation and international level… Source: WDR 2021 report Many countries have developed and demonstrated the benefits of INDS for development, equity among all strata of society, etc. • South Africa’s program of monitoring the performance of government programs. • Nepal’s Data Literacy Program • Estonia’s national data system to safely manage citizens’ personal data • and many other INDS by various countries.
- 6. INDS can be developed to enhance productivity of agricultural produce and reduce wastage during logistics and storage Identification of land parcel size/ownership Mapping through geo-spatial technologies, land record surveys Identification and analysis of weather, soil, water aspects of all land parcels Through technological app, mapping growing conditions with best suitable crops Predictive analysis of when to sow, water and harvest the crop Capturing live information on weather, rains, etc. through technological apps Identification of logistics park, storage, stockiest and informing them about the quanitiy of produce, prior hand On real time basis, informing farmers, when to harvest crops and sell to stockiest, etc. Development of Integrated Agricultural Data System for the region will have following benefits. • Economies of scale & good quality produce - producing identified crop in the best suitable environment • Reduced storage wastage – through pre-informed decision, actors will have sufficient space • Saving natural resources (water, etc.) – by pre- informing farmers of rains, they will not water crops • and many other. Integrated National Data System for Agriculture for Africa
