 Okay, so good afternoon and again welcome to the fourth and last day of the virtual training on the SDG 241. It has been a very intense training. We, we must admit, but I think it has been really useful for all of you that you have especially requested this training concentrated on that our collegial regi built in the past. So on the first day we have been concentrated on the theoretical part and then we have been we have seen the stutter tool for all the 11 subindicators yesterday and the day before. So today as last day, I will present the FAO data collection questionnaire, and then we will give the floor to you so as promised and as planned. So you will be showing. We have a share screen from our colleague. But first let me, I need to have a presentation into the presentation Mr Islam. You can maybe stop sharing for the moment, even because as Pandia we join us a little bit later today. So it's better to have this discussion. After my presentation on the FAO data collection questionnaire. Mr. Swedeel Islam. I can. Can you just, you know, do that from your side. Yes, I can. Okay, I did it. I didn't want to do it on his behalf. No, that's okay. Okay. So as I was saying, I forgot what I was saying. Okay, so maybe before, before I start with my presentation, just to be sure that anyone of you have any questions to ask to Jalui he is online today. So for the presentation he did this last two days. So, if you have any question for him or any way in general, please. So now we move a little bit away from what has been said so far. And we are going to see. Once you have collected and calculated the all the 11 some big gators. What happens. So how do you report the data to FAO. This means the data collect the FAO data collection question. This is how we call it. So this is really so now I will show you how FAO gets the data on SDG to for one from the countries. We all received our first questioner last year on 10th of August 2020. And you will soon receive another one because we will be sending this questioner once a year. We are planning to send this the next questioner end of July or beginning of August so really in few days. So we have one single question that comes in Excel, and it is indeed the key instrument for us to collect the data from countries. This covers all the three dimension, of course, and all the 11 sub indicators that we have seen in these days. So I said, it is sent to countries once a year, even if we have seen that the that the periodicity for the indicator to for one is three years. So sending the questioner once a year, allow us to monitor the availability of data on annual basis, since you know that this is a brand new indicator. It allows us identify the changes and get the data points through the years. So considering also that often we do not get many data, many data, many data, especially now that we are at the starting phases. It allows us to assess the country needs in terms of capacity development, for example, these technical assistance and training that we have organized now with with you. So this virtual training. And lastly, confirm the national focal points contacts, which is always a crucial information for us so that we are in contact immediately with the appropriate person, or even this last point is very important for us. Well, we have done so far. We have. Sorry, I hear that there is someone I need to mute. Okay. I was hearing some noises on the background. So what we have done so far. We have seen this already a bit on the first day with us one year, but let me say again, we have tested the questioner in 45 countries through a pilot exercise carried out from December 19 to April 2020. Initially the questioner was only in English, but we have translated it in July 2020 into three official languages which are Arabic French Spanish. And we have had as I said our first official dispatch on 10th of August 2020 to 195 countries, including this by including Bangladesh of course. The questioner has been sent to the SDG to for one focal point to the general SDG focal point to the head of NSO, and we have copied all the power offices and all relevant people in the in the country. And finally, we have improved the layout following some country comments that we have got from this first dispatch. So how here it is shown how the questioner is organized. So it is composed by eight worksheets. We have three introductory sections, so the cover page, the instructions and the definitions sheets. We have three data reporting sections one for each dimension. And we have two supplementary information sections for metadata and for feedback. So we are going to see all these sections in detail in a minute. This is a preview on how the question is displayed. So you can see that we have here different sheets. So you need to go of course through all of them one by one. And we have three detailed this eight sections. So what are they about so they the cover page the first one. Ask some country specific information. So meaning also the national focal point contact details that, as I said, is a very key key information for us for heavy as smooth communication with the country. And it's a page with only instructions so of course you don't need to fill this page, but it is needed to understand how to complete the questioner, and it gives also an overview of the questioner structure. And then it's followed by another page that explains the definition of the key concepts and the terms and the international standards used in the whole questioner. And it's very important to go through this part before, of course, filling the questioner. The second section is the is the core of the questioner, because it's where the data are requested, meaning where the countries needs to fill the spaces with their data. These includes of course the three dimension. These are indicators for the economic defy for the environmental and the three for the for the social. And this is how it is displayed. So this is for the economic environmental and the social maybe I will show you later the Excel itself without the presentation. The last section, as I said, it's about supplemental information so it's the meta data part quite intuitive. It collects the meta data on country coverage, so the source of data you don't measurements previous your data collection and so on. This section help us understanding better your data. So it's important to also for us this section. And finally the feedback sheets. It's a simple survey with 10 questions that help us understanding if some areas still needs to be improved. This section has been used a lot by us last year because it was our first analysis of what the country thought about the question and that's the section that helped us to improve the questioner this year so it's slightly different from last year. So now let me show you how you feel all the sheets, all the file appropriately. So the first page, as I said is the cover page is like this one. So you need to fill these columns with the national football culture details, and we asked to fill this page even if this information has already sent to us so if we tell us if the focal points is confirmed or if he or she has been changed, of course, so it's important to feel, even if last year you have built it. Anyway, about Bangladesh. So these are the contact details that we have for your countries. So as I already said we send the question to the SDG focal point. So, for your country is Mr. Hossa. We send to the SDG 241 focal point which officially actually is missing from Bangladesh we don't have an official communication from you on who is the SDG 241 focal point. We send to the head of NSO and in our case we have these two emails here displayed. And then we copy also the general email address of the Ministry of Agriculture. So as I said, you can imagine how it is crucial for us to have the good contacts immediately so that we can be in contact with a proper person. So now I kindly ask you to inform us if you have any updated information on these contact details that I have here. So concerning the response rates, you can see we have two columns, 19 and 20 and Y and A and this is because Bangladesh was part of the 45 pilot countries that were contacted in 19 in 2019. But you didn't send us the questionnaire back. While for the 2020 column you'll see an Y. Of course it was the first real dispatch and you have answered, although you said that data were not available. Anyway, we know that we are still in the starting phase and for sure next year. So this year you will, we will send us some data. Let's see the data reporting sections. So you have this year to refill the columns with the values that the countries have provided in the 2020 dispatch. So of course for your countries, these columns will be empty because you didn't send us any data. But that's fine. I mean, this is just for letting you know that every year, the question will be structured in this way. So with the prefilled columns with the values that the country has provided the year before. In our case this year just for your information the 2019 columns includes data of the year 2019, while the 2018 columns include data of the year 2018 and before this is because last year we have asked to report the latest data available here. So it could be 2019, sorry, could be 2018 but also could be 2017, 16 and so on. So it depends on the countries of course. So let's say if the country has provided data in the 2020 dispatch with the year 2015 that that country will find those data in the 2018 column. Next year probably we will not have these issues but this year we have to adjust the columns in this way. So anyway, please note that those columns will not have to be modified unless of course the country has any updated information for those years. So let's say for example, the file last year a country put provisionary data and now they have finalized data, then of course they can modify those columns. But in all other cases, the countries need only to fill the column called 2020. So these columns have to be filled with the values or with the percentage, follow these described criteria so referring only to the year 2020. And so we use is the calendar year from January to December. And if there is no data available in your country you insert the zero if it is not occurring but potential applicable. And you insert and a so not available in case it is not applicable at all. This second column that has to be filled its notes. You should insert the explanation in case the data are reported using a different national definitions. So not the ones described in the definition worksheets that we have seen before. Or if the data report in using a different reference period so not the calendar year from January to December. And if also you have added or modified the 2018 or 2019 columns. So what I was saying before. And of course I mean this is a free space you can add any other relevant information that you think might be useful for us while analyzing your data. So the other sections as I said the metadata is composed by a big table with all the elements of indicators listed and different columns to where you can specify all the metadata listed here. So as I said type of variable availability unit one measurements and so on. And then the feedback sections that are on there are six questions with the scale response from strongly agree to strongly disagree. And then you have for open ended question. So if the country wants to suggest something more in detail, for example, or any other open comment that the country wants to do want to say. Let me let me share the real questioner so that you can have. Okay. Can you see now maybe I need to zoom a little bit. So very quickly. So this is the cover page you see just one other something I would like to say, always please read the description that is displayed at the beginning of the sheets, because it might be. Very evident, but then sometimes we put here some very useful information for you to fill the data, even at the bottom you see here. Then you have for example, our contact details so the email of our supervisor the emails as one yard. And then you have so this year you will need to send the question back by 10th of September 21. So this is the core page, the instruction, you see, as I said, all the general instruction and then the structure of the questionnaire is explained everything in detail here. The definition, the definition of worksheets. You see the general terms. Then you have the denominator of the indicator. So it is really displayed each definition for each word that is used in the questionnaire. Then you have the current so all this is the dominator, then you have the economic dimension where the description and then it's displayed what every word means the net farm income, etc. Then you have the economic dimension and then you go to environmental dimension and you have everything for all the elements and indicators. Then we move to the economic dimension. So as I said, please read here, because it's explained. Well, what you need to have to do how do you need to fill here we have also put the link to the methodological document so that you can view and review again the methodology if something is not clear. And you have. Sorry, the same. This planning the same interface for the environmental dimension and for the social dimension. Data data as I said is a very big table with agriculture area and then so the denominator and then you have all the levels of indicators. And with all the different columns where we ask you to put this information to allow us to understand better your data and finally the feedback. This is the funny part, let's say, so the question was addressed to the person the question is logical structure definitions are clear, etc. And then you have these four open ended questions. So this will help us maybe improve again. Next year, the question why not I mean we are always open for discussion with countries. So that's, that's all for for the data collection question that we have built and as I said we will be sending to you soon. So in the next, the next phase and the last few weeks. Okay, thank you very much. Good afternoon and good morning to all. Everybody. Just to deliver. Just. Firstly, I. Okay, okay. This introduction objectives and measure activities estimation methodology, regular service secretaries data methodology improvement and report writing 2010 2020 when I delivered 128 and next nine to 17 deliver will deliver. Next. This is the introduction introduction Bangladesh bro is a national strategy organization of the country. According to our the statistical act, the secretary, they have approved our national assembly. In 2013, the major national activities of the BBS to contact national census and service to provide official statistics of Bangladesh, our function of BBS to collect compile analyze and disseminate data as well as official statistics on social economic demographic energy culture. BBS mission to become a world class provider of the authentic relevant and timely data in holistic and user friendly manner and our vision. To establish a integrated professional efficient and effective NSS under the guidance and leadership of the BBS to produce and publish official statistics that meet the current and going needs to national and international users in a transparent and timely fashion using standard and the best statistical practice. Our objectives. Our objectives actually BBS and age. We, we are the response role to provide angles are related data. Compile that I. I want to tell you about our angles are objective. We, personally, we to provide production statistics of six measure cops. Six measure cops that means our theorize wait for it to enter. Why are cops 140 the mistake 140 minor cops, which is used for calculating the GBF or GDP and management of food and government procurement of price export import decision making afford. For extension activities to provide data on problems and statistics by natural technologies. And to provide land use and it's ridiculous statistics statistics and to provide faster production survey. To provide monthly a little bit of statistics to provide a little bit of data to national international organization and to conduct a culture related survey as need of the government. Our major activities, major activities estimation of area production in late of six measure costs 140 minor costs holding the service and now we are. We are leveraging the service lender. And then forecasting of the area and production of the measure cops estimation of the problem is caused by natural committee estimation of man. Land utilization reports. Institution of positive production of measure minor cops irregular service every regular survey contact data on forest. Fishers and collect data on forest and fishers and life services secondary data we collect from our department. Preparation of the publication every year we published a year book of a history statistics. Coordination and proper national international organization. So, actually we are working with a for WPA. And other. And we harmonize the concept and definition as well as naturalist as a recommendation of the international organization. Recently we published a all all statistics concept and definition we published our reports. Then. It's a estimation method estimation method is a production area area area we collect cluster survey and farmer interview. And I'll rate sampling crop cutting and also cluster for a cluster. Yeah, yeah, farmer, farmer interview. We have two methodology one is subject method and subject methodology and another is objective methodology. We collect data to method and subject methodology and objective methodology and subject methodology is basis or assessment of farmer interview a pressure of the current crop condition and compare to the last year. From the field of this. Then. The objective method, proper estimation and prepared on the basis of considering the considering the total land area of the country as universe. We are we excluding our brain here. Government reserve forest and district area and big rivers. We have. We have. Now we have 10,000 people on 348 cluster cluster is established 2009 in the previous year in 1980 cluster was 909,348. And then in 1960 cluster was 507,105,753. In that period, the ratio was one by 1000 in 1980 ratio was one by 625 and now is a 10,000 ratio was one by 525. But each cluster have on average a five. That means 2.02. And every district at least have 150 cluster and every union have at least one cluster we one cluster. Estimation area and installation for cluster week. We. We. Is. Collecting data from the cluster. First off area and then. The area area for a part of the district is a effective area of the district every district have an effective area. And multiple by area ratio, they voted the problem for the district effective area is total land area of the district. Substract by area not if you utilization for agricultural purpose for the district, it's mean. Government is a first restrict area or big river or urban area. Those are not cultivate a culture purpose. Area ratio devoted to the crop of the district. Some of the area devoted a crop from the plots within the cluster for the district, and given by some of the areas of the corresponding cluster for the district. Estimation methodology. We go for subject the method of the observation methods that are the direct observation. That means cluster are visited four times in a year. First time cluster survey we got what it to and who it survey. And second time we cluster survey we got what it to. And third time we got a house and joke and fourth time area of the. We calculate the estimation it's a subject the method sample property. Heel per acre for rice we put it to and joke estimation of the result of the sample. Actually, we used to 115.27 square meter for only rice that means is equivalent to 20 meters area property only for rice and other 50 meter that means to a 4.6 for 50 square feet that means 4.6 for square meter. Cutting for for for we can do it. Estimation methodology property express firstly identify the cluster having the. Actually way is district we cut cutting cutting the crop at least 50 property is district. Firstly we identify the cluster having the crop. Then the farmer with the plot identity then we select farmer randomly then we select plot randomly then we cut the crop. Then we call then we conduct property then process measurement of moisture and a certain in late in the house. This is our pop cutting instrument for rice. And it has the area is 20 meters and is radius is 8.278 foot. It is developed it is developed with the collaboration of a for the. For all the department will be involved with us for the political new property technology and. Technical support with extra. And then put it to properties another way system at the place like as to select a selection that cluster then selection of the plot. Then choose to lose randomly and then we measurement length and wide and of the two rules and then we calculate the area of the two rules and then we harvested all potatoes and clean and. Wash and take him wet and then we measure measure that he lit. Next. Next. And. Estimation message in another is to use the remote sensing technology is a from a special and I estimation we are. Next. In our regular survey, that means. And. A cluster survey is quarterly and probably estimation surveys seasonally and profits forecast survey two times season based only for measure cuts and property survey seasonally only for measure. And our land is survey annually irrigation survey annually and labor waste survey monthly and pop them a survey after register and cost production survey seasonally only for measure costs. Next. And our secondary source data farm get price from them development of vehicles and marketing and fisheries studies from department of fishes actually every year fisheries people doing we get. From here and take. To submit their report and we will give them authentication for the research people and we were sensing. They give us report only for our amount and blue rice and forest statistics. It's been from first department. And methodology implement it with the collaboration of the AFO, they develop our methodology in depth of capacity assessment analysis and analytical report of vehicles and statistics and methodology of the sample property. And they will waste a strategic plan on a given side of rural history. And now is our report 2010 to 2020. The best aggregation we published every year for the year book we got the statistics. It's the cost of production survey. This is a conducted 2009 and 10. And for 10 top. And next customer production survey to an element 12. And next I the next cost of production is a 2013 to 15. But on a time like pineapple pumpkin, polypola chili, maize and onion. I, I conducted this survey and publish this report. In this in depth capacity assessment report 2014. And methodology on sample property published a strategic plan on a given side of the public report on private food, food, gain, stock survey published. And what if I we have to be able to study for a better cost. I will come on board with what to do with the public and next report on a given side of the state. I conducted this survey 2018 and it has a rural area survey and rural social economic conditions and they are land ownership and they are. Equipment. And they are income. Income and market facility for facilities and women and permanent girl and others are involved in this. And then we can be a next criminal report. Our next feature plan. Already, we submitted a project proposal to our government for food security statistics. And we have a plan to develop our livestock and fisheries that is now working with our project and NSDS to develop our methodology and portion area and others. And then we go for the preparation of the food balance sheet actually in the previous year tonight 2009 2013 people at the food balance sheet. Now we'll go for 2014 2020 food balance sheet. It is it is under walking. People are sure proper of walking to submit a proposal to the government for agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture. And then we have a plan that will develop our collection on by automation. And we will be working at this area. And thank you. Thank you very much Mr. Is there anyone who will continue next. Good afternoon. Assalamu alaikum. Okay, carry on. Okay. Assalamu alaikum. I am sure the Islam from VBS. I am going to present. Okay. Thank you. I will present on agriculture sensors and agriculture sample sensors. 2020. Firstly, I discuss our agriculture sensors conducted. 2019 agriculture sensors held in 2019 the modular. At the first place, all the general information collected through short question and on crops, fisheries and livestock. All this. At the second place in the sample sensors. And information collected through details. Objective of our agricultural sensor 2019 to determine the tax and related characteristics of agricultural sector by providing the testical data on agricultural data. So, in terms of legislation, can and see in terms of leasing cropping pattern. Irrigation status livestock population with other characteristics area and that is to provide well smart data needed for agricultural programs for agricultural sector and other and for evaluating progress. To provide basic frames of household and operational holdings for carrying out future service on crops, fisheries and livestock subset. That will enable to observe the structural sentence in agriculture to facilitate in formulation of the necessary government policies and programs for the benefit of the rural code. Sorry. Short questionnaire of the our agriculture sensors, which was conducted in 2019. Our sensors questionnaire was described was this, this type. Shortly, we will discuss our short questionnaire. In fact, serial number of the household name of the head of the household gender number of household members. Total land area of the household land given to others land taken from others, total operated area. Total land area under business center area under forest, not cultivated. Permanent fellow uncultivated land temporary crops land permanent crops land land area of pond nursery of trees and flowers current fellow land. Located land land other under physicals are excluding one land under fisheries in case commercial based farm lifestyle and quality ownership of agriculture equipments. Net permanent permanent crop area. A net temporary crop land area. Agriculture sample sensors 2020. Our sampling design is main object. That was as below the district level estimation for the three domains crops livestock and fisheries sampling them. The census was considered in four categories. Total year of census. 163672 a pops. 97,820. 42,628. 15,534. None from a 7,690. Categories are separated in measure based from the census. They are three type types frame are considered for the east district. All crops in district was in the crops. And livestock frame or livestock. Of each district. Was included in the livestock frame fisheries frame all fisheries in the district. Our domain. There are three major domain. Cops. In district. Livestock in district fisheries in district. That is three domains for each district. Our districts. 64. That is our total domain 64. 64. That is 192. Sample size. Number of us 53 for each domain. Number of household. 15 for each. All are selected as usual. By a total number of less than 53 within domain. All effective household are selected. By a total number of effective household less than 15. Our total number of you so was. 9,875. Is the SDC integrals in agriculture systems. Exactly. SDC. Five indicators. Involved. Involved in agriculture systems. There are mentioned. This indicator. In the. Skin. Our silence. First time fisheries. Module. Has been included in the agricultural sensors. That are capturing and positioning used in ICR technology. Sampling for the sample sensors. Our future plan and proposed projects, food security districts, livestock and fisheries survey, preparation of food, balance sheet, proportion of agriculture area under productive and sustainable agriculture, automation of data collection, compilation and reporting. Thanks to all, thanks to all for kind passion and you have, do you have any question to me and I will try to answer. Thank you. Thank you, thank you very much Mr. Shwetur Islam. Have you finished all of the presentation? Do you have anything left to present today from BBS? Next presentation we will present maybe Millie. I think you know, let us have that presentation first and then we can open the discussion for all of the presentations and probably the questions should come from the FAO. Millie, can you start now? Sir, this is the time for Saleha madam, for SDZ 2.41. Okay, Saleha will present. Okay Saleha, you know Saleha will present. Stephanie, can you just allow Saleha to share her screen? Yeah, I think everybody can share the screen. I didn't. Okay, Saleha, you may start now. Visible to everyone now? Yeah, we can see it but make it in our slideshow so that it's going to be there. Yes, we can see it. Good afternoon in Bangladesh and good morning in Rome. Now we welcome you all to the presentation of SDZ indicator 2.4.1 that we have done in 2019. The letter of agreement was signed in December 2018 by both parties FAO and BBS and after that we have started our task. The objective of the LAA was first implementation of a cognitive test and then there is an extended test. The objective of the cognitive test was to test the quotient associated with SDZ 2.4.1 in the field level to find and give some design flow and comprehension perspective and to assess if the quotient are fully understood. And the objective of the extended test was to ascertain that quotient asked in the agricultural survey module are sufficient to collect the elements needed to construct the eleven sub indicators of SDZ 2.4.1 test and define the proposed criteria for the eleven sub indicators of SDZ 2.4.1 on the basis of the analysis of the results and to determine the time that is number of hours required to administer the survey. At first I will explain about cognitive test from the beginning with the methodological proposal which has protocol questionnaire module enumerators manual all are given by FAO and we have started those documents and push in your hand manuals were translated in many ways. We have several virtual meetings cycle points when needed and the team composition where then focal points one supervisor three interviewers and three note takers note takers where our statistical officer level during the data collection and 3-day long training was held in BBS before data collection by the experts from BBS and CA. The purpose sample of 13 respondents from household and farm the part of farm survey listing frame of ethical test samples 2018 was used. You see the sample size of cognitive test probes live stock and mixed three categories and also from household and non household. So we have total 30 and it was specified in the letter of agreement. Data collection took place in different upper delos of my mentioning district in the end of January 2019 that editing analysis was done and finding papers and sent to FAO. Then extended test extended test also we have several virtual meetings cycle points whenever we need any clarification or discussion in competition for the extended test first operated in four districts so there were four supervisors and under each supervisor there were three interviewers. In total there were four supervisors and 12 interviewers. Let's see the long training was held. Lomis is Shaleha, we can't hear you so she had some connectivity issues. Shall we wait or someone else can take her place? She is just live available with someone else so you or she can share otherwise we will wait for some time. Okay well in the meantime I was thinking I can if you don't mind I can share with you now the the evaluation for this training. So there are just a few questions to let us know or what do you think about this training that we have organized. I think it is a better idea okay let us utilize the time as you propose. Sorry it didn't get you. Now you better try continue because you know let us utilize the time. I was saying while waiting she she would come online again. Yes we can do that yes as you propose. Yes it takes really a few minutes so and I mean you can even answer later so for the moment I have displayed the question so you should have it online so you need to answer all the question and then you submit. Is this for only the participants or I can also. Yeah you can absolutely. Opinions are important. Okay in the meantime I see that Mrs Shaleha is back so you can you can even answer later the question as as you prefer. Mrs Shaleha since you were offline we we have launched the poll I mean we have launched the evaluation of the of the of the training just for getting the opinion on of everybody so waiting that you you came online again so but you can you can continue again with your presentation anyway the evaluation stays there so you can you can answer whenever you you want. Can you hear me now? Yes now we hear you. Okay sorry for the disturbance from the internet. So I was talking about the sample sample size and we have taken 420 samples for the operational advantage P60 from household and P60 from farmer and for the household level one of the statistics have IMPS design from based on population and housing since 2011 we have 2012 PSUs across the country. So we have first select four districts randomly from the 64 districts these districts where Jamalpur, Mulvudha, Dineshpur and Jhoshore and then the second stage nine PSUs were selected systematically from each district and in third stage from each PSUs we have 30 households in three categories jobs livestock and mix categories to identify those holding listing of households and the selected PSUs were done before the selection of households of them that that population was confined by considering only agricultural crops, livestock and mixed holding and the rest households became out of school and the each enumerator is assigned to collect data from healthy agricultural crops livestock and mixed holding and the supervisor is deputed to monitor supervise the data collection of three enumerators within a district for the convenience of the operational issue I have already talked about the total of P60 for seniors for holding the registered during the survey and for the farm survey Mahaji Buddha statistics has developed the list of agricultural based farms as preparatory work for pondering agriculture census 2019 the list of those agricultural farms is used as the sampling frame to develop the samples designed for the agricultural based farms part of the survey the selected 46 were selected also for the farm level at the second stage 15 agricultural based farms were selected in three categories crops livestock and mixed from the agricultural based farms developed for agricultural census 2019 livestock and mixed farms were not separated in the list since it was not specified in the degree of the census listing so each enumerator college information from five farms the total of 60 agricultural based farms were selected for the and FU also provided virtual support and different stages of the data collection process Enumerators were facilitated by the local register of the DSU engaged in title statistics in case of household push to confirm the address of the houses and their local knowledge that time and the GPS locations were taken by the interviewers using their smartphones maximum how does their segregation there's twice irrigation dedicated non-educated was not separated and data set was sent to FU for further calculations of sustainability sub indicators the list of sub indicators usd 11 sub indicators i'm not um reading all those you have already knows so our final analysis was through a dashboard the methodology proposes to focus on a dashboard presenting the difference of indicators separately the dashboard is chosen for reporting the indicators as sustainability is about finding an acceptable balance between its three dimensions and countries can easily visualize their performance in terms of the different sustainability dimensions and the stand for a policy approach can be focused and calculation of the sub indicators at these states our first classification of the farm and agricultural area each manages as sustainable or non-sustainable for each sub indicator and two at the national level add up the agricultural areas of the farm by sustainability status with a reasonable and unsustainable and see for each sub indicator calculate the proportion of agricultural area that is sustainable acceptable and and unsustainable as a percentage of total agricultural area of the country now this is the final dashboard that was also shown by the analogy and and the percentage you can show from the first sub indicators where the idea completed with farm output value per hectare that is the desirable even person acceptable 18 non-sustainable 71 uh that's like i have shown that 11 sub indicators as percentage and you see the most fleeting sub indicator on that is you can show here the most limiting sub indicators here is the sub indicator number one that is very associated with farm output value per hectare here we can see the red area is very high and the desirable and acceptable area is 29 percent only from the above figure it is clear that the first sub indicator farm output value per hectare is the most limiting team according to this criteria it can be stated at least 29 percent of the country's agricultural area is sustainable and the problem is uh although it is not the national level survey it is piloting the policy brief can be uh to include the status in terms of sustainability especially on farm output per hectare fertilizer pesticide management biodiversity etc and agricultural marketing system can be improved to ensure proper prices of the agricultural commodity insurance policy in agricultural sector can be sprung then across the rural areas awareness program can be taken to make proper use of fertilizers and pesticide natural fertilizer and waste management can be encouraged to improve soil fertility and more about innovation of extreme weather tolerance variety and environmental agriculture technology should be exercised so this is my last slide I want to congratulate SID and DBS also the few DBS few that times worked with me thank you all for your patience Erin if you have any questions please can you hear me yes thank you very much Ereha thank you for your presentation so we have finished with the presentation from BBS right I understood that you had really probably another one is remaining probably you will share one okay sorry really you may share no sir sir that's all oh that's all okay okay you are not sharing anything really are you are representing anything today no sir no sir okay okay thank you very much you know stephania from BBS side all the presentations are over now okay there may be some question and answer session from your side actually questions should come okay yes now floor to floor to you Eukaryu thank you thank you very much so I know that also Asfanya would like to have one last presentation but maybe Asfanya I give the floor to you thank you thank you stephania and thank you miss Shaleha and other colleagues from BBS who presented today well I do have you know several questions that I would like to ask however I think you know it's better for us to discuss it jointly the issue that BBS may be facing in terms of compiling SDG 2.4.1 now as I see you are already conducting an agriculture survey whereby you are collecting information on on the area production and yield of six major crops as well as 140 minor crops which is which is a good starting point but as you remember the scope of SDG 2.4.1 is not only crops but it includes livestock as well so it focuses on agriculture holdings that goes beyond those who produce crops to include those who produce livestock as well as the mix of both so from this perspective I I think you know that if BBS decides I mean this is the decision that BBS has to take at the at the government level I mean and these are not easy decisions to take which we understand so if you if you decide on or perhaps you engage in discussion with your with your superiors with your bosses on you revising your agriculture revising the scope in fact of your agriculture survey to include livestock related production activities as well then that will be that will be one of the starting point because for the time being the agriculture survey that you have you know is cannot cannot provide information on on in fact any of the subindicator of SDG 2.4.1 because all the subindicators the way they are constructed collect information not on the on on on crops but livestock. Secondly you know you mentioned about estimation of monthly agriculture prices right if I'm not mistaken so that kind of information is also periodically collected at a certain interval with a certain frequency. Now as you know we are making assessment as for SDG 2.4.1 is concerned so forget about the you know the national level estimation of agriculture production and area estimation so let's for the time being let's focus on how SDG 2.4.1 is is is developed how its methodology is designed so we collect information through interviews from agriculture holdings okay we collect information on on in fact all the 11 subindicators through a set of questions that are part of the survey module that we have created which Bangladesh test SMH Shaleha presented as well so we we use either either that survey module as a standalone instrument in countries where no agriculture survey exists or we recommend to countries and by by by far this is this is always our recommendations recommendation for countries to integrate the questions which are not covered in the agriculture survey from the survey questionnaire okay so let's assume for the time being that you know we are concentrated on 2.4.1 now all the assessment as you as you have as you have seen in my first day presentation as well as Jan Wiji Niko presented in detail the 11 subindicators along with the state of scripts so as you saw the information is collected through interviews using a questionnaire from agriculture holding and we then use that information based on some sustainability criteria or threshold selected to assign that agriculture holding and its agriculture area we're talking you know about at this very point about the observational unit which for us is agriculture holding so we we based on the information collected assign our statuses to the culture holding as well as its agricultural and area green yellow red or the traffic light approach now once that is done then we start aggregating the area which are classified as green yellows and reds and then we then we illustrate or depict a national level picture okay now it's it's up to the country I mean if they won't they can they can they can have a picture at the district level they can have a picture at the state or the province level they can go to any level of details in terms of administrative levels provided if they have sufficient resources and provided if they're willing to invest in precision of their agriculture statistics but that's another question for international reporting on SC241 what we need is a national level estimates now so that that for us is the starting point so so so so so keep in keep in mind this as well right so first is a scoping issue your agriculture survey is not covering livestock as well as agriculture holding that is producing a mix of both crops and livestock so that's the problem so we need to we need to address that problem somehow the second problem is that you know not all the crops not all the crops that are covered in within your agriculture survey may be may be covered right so some agriculture holdings may be producing crops which from the national estimation or national estimates perspective may not be important but for that agriculture holding it may very well be very important crops so this is this is another another area that we need to look into then you mentioned about the cost of production survey which is conducted at a you know at an irregular with an irregular periodicity let me put it that way so we can we can get away with this information okay so the cost of production information though it's good to have but it's not mandatory for estimation of SG241 and I will give you the reason as to why Joanne Luigi explained to you the net farm income indicator which is the second in the economic dimension which we'll discuss on the second day and there you know it was discussed that this indicator can be compiled using two approaches okay one is the more sophisticated approach okay and the sophisticated approach needs for you to collect information not only on the production on the quantity physical quantity produced by the agriculture holding but as well the farm get prices of those commodities and then you know for us to estimate the income we need to have information on the cost of production and for the cost of production we need to have information on the inputs that are exploited during the production process to produce those agriculture commodities as well as the prices of those the prices of those inputs you know it could be it could be anything it could be seed it could be feed irrigation electricity you know preparing the field for cultivation harvesting and name it so there are many activities which are pesticides fertilizers etc i'm not going to go into the details so that is a more sophisticated option but in 241 survey model as you may have seen we are we are asking this very quick question were you profitable in the last three consecutive years and then it's a subjective question then we rely too much on the numerator for him to explain to the respondent as to what is meant by the by by by profit or net farming in any case in any case what i'm trying to say is that we need to now engage in in more you know technical discussions as to how bbs going you know using all this knowledge which has been accumulated over the past over the past five years now which have been transferred from fao to different colleagues within bbs how to how to use this knowledge as a springboard as as something to leverage on to go to the next to the next phase okay and the next phase for us obviously would be a decision from bbs to either integrate the the missing questions from within their agriculture survey or agriculture census by the way which i'm i'm going to come towards later on for them to be able to collect this information periodically you know this point onwards now one additional point that i would like to highlight is that you mentioned as part of the agriculture census 2019 that a set of sdg indicators will be collected and i if i if i remember correctly it was 1.4.2 5.8.1 2.3.1 2.3.2 and and 2.1.2 so and and and maybe i'm missing on one of the sdg indicator now the information that is collected for 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 if that is the idea of that is the decision of the bbs and they have already integrated those questions into their 2019 agriculture census then the information collected there can can also be used for sdg 2.1 because these two indicators used to assert an excess same kind of information plus 5.8.1 is another indicator which is within the social dimension of sdg 2.4.1 which is secure secure tenure right to land and you know it exactly collect information on on on similar lines plus 2.1.2 which which i believe is fierce food insecurity experience scale again is something which is needed for 2.4.1 as well so what i'm trying to say is that you having integrated these indicator into your agriculture agriculture census means that you know a lot of work has already been done for 2.4.1 as well now you know you you need to check as to what are the aspects missing within your agriculture census primarily and how are we are you going to go about revising the scope of your agriculture survey if if if you want to if you are willing to and improve its coverage to include livestock and other agricultural holdings for us to collect information that is useful for and that is you know something which is very much needed for sdg 2.4.1 compilation if that is not the case if we don't revise or customize or tailor the agriculture survey within within Bangladesh then i'm afraid and let me let me be very straight that you know Bangladesh still can report on on the indicator but maybe maybe on on a very selected few sub indicators okay so from this perspective in generally speaking i would say that you know we are going to provide you with and that has already been provided to to the national statistical offices including Bangladesh back in 2000 i believe in 2019 as well which we call a stock taking exercise so this stock taking exercise is in fact an excel sheet that we have developed which consists of the list of the variables and data items for the respective 11 sub indicators of 2.4.1 which are which are you know and and that excel sheet surveys the very first starting point for a national statistical office to see as to what extent these are covered by their existing agricultural statistical system so the way your system is is structured now you know you know to what extent it's covering the needs of 2.4.1 so that that excel sheet isolates or identify all the variables and data items for 2.4.1 and then you can match those and map those against what is available within your agriculture survey this kind of exercise was was done you know it's you know at a very early stage by Amir al-Islam as well i mean who is now supporting FAO, Bangladesh and DBS of course and he's participant to this to this meeting and and he can be helpful in that exercise with DBS as well so first thing first we need to see as to what extent your agriculture system is ready for reporting on 2.4.1 if Bangladesh is ready let's say for example to report on only one sub indicator out of the 11 for FAO at you know at the headquarters level even that is a very good step forward okay at least we will exactly know to what extent BBS is missing the data on S2.4.1 now you have all the capacity that you wanted to build on S2.4.1 the actual second step is now you know using that capacity which we have transferred to you over time to start adopting and implementing S2.4.1 so this talking taking exercise coming back to that will help you first you know isolate the gaps in the data as it exists now then some decisions needs to be taken by the BBS as to going forward you know what's the plan for integration of the different questions which are needed for construction of the 11 sub indicator within within agriculture census or within agriculture survey for you to be able to collect information maybe not now maybe you know in the next couple of years so so so these were my my broad thoughts or you know my broad reflections you know after after listening to to BBS and after having you know seen these very good presentations full of knowledge you know which Ms. Shaleha presented and which you know Millie and and other colleagues respected colleagues presented so we need to build on this knowledge now I I now give the floor to you I mean if you have any questions please feel free to ask me yes Amirul would like to take the floor now just to know I want to add with you know what Afsandia has just said you know let me just you know tell in a in a way that you know we are conducting a few you know SDZ trainings one by one prior to this you know training we have had the training on 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 now we are concluding today 2.4.1 another two will come very soon on 2.3.1 2.3.2 and 5.8.1 so after you know completing all of these you know trainings BBS will have the idea about the data requirements and finally they can and we'll be able to you know compare with the existing data sources and where there is any any labs and gaps and how to address those issues and as as part as part of the 2.4.1 there are some surveys that can you know currently you know answer some of the survey indicators even if you get the census as the promise but as you know every three year we have to we have to have this you know updated information so at certain point they get the census will be again obsolete we should go for another survey and again the surveys that are conducted in BBS that have different objectives you know so they are covered sometimes you know it's different sometimes it is completely based on agricultural rural areas sometimes it is on urban areas sometimes it is mixed so that that kind of coverage differences an objective difference also led to difference you know sampling methodologies so my suggestion would be if BBS can plan something in future that you know one dedicated survey for 2.4.1 as you have no already assured the questionnaires and methodologies so if it is in place and every three year BBS can you know renew that one with new survey that would be actually best thing otherwise what BBS can do as you as Abhsandya was telling every time you're looking at the you know current data surveys and their availability of the information and then again modifying some of the questionnaires if possible so this is a way but we must you know start reporting on some of the indicators not all we cannot do everything but you know if that is available on some of the aspects that say among the eleven one two three four whatever BBS would start you know reporting on that and I see the participants almost 90 percent are common for all the actors all the trainings that we are conducting so from among the participants a small now committee may be formed that will be that will work to identify the labs and gaps and any suggestion if they have they can forward it to the higher authority and then BBS as a whole can plan and conduct new service this is myself you know you know a total you know reaction but as for the 2.4.1 I was part of the processor you know methodological development so I have some you know attachment to this one and I always feel that BBS should you know devote themselves to just you know conduct the survey and this is actually this indicator 2.4.1 is the actually actually you know black type of information for sustainability of agriculture so it is indicated indication overall for the agriculture so this indicator should be correctly and accurately and regularly collected and reported and that is my opinion and as Sandeer said that I am in Bangladesh so whenever BBS needs my support or not only for this indicator or other indicators previous slide I was also giving some support for SDZ sorry it sends us whenever BBS or FIO Bangladesh or even FIO Rome just you know needs my support I am always there I'm always there but the goal is to you know goal is to just to report the indicators these are indicators that are set to BBS I'm always with you to help with these words from my side I say goodbye and as Sandeer and Nico and Stephanie if you have to have anything to say then we can go for the conclusion of the session. So yes Amirul I would in fact like to add a few a few words perhaps we have another raise hand so Allahuddin Al Azad would like to say something please the floor is yours. Thank you Mr. Nico and thank you Ms. Stefina Sandeer and Professor Anul for their nice advice and guidance for your kind of information for SDZ 24.41 we are planning to do a standalone survey and Saleha is preparing the program and if we complete the program then we will seek approval from our higher authority by actually we are in busy on our national priority activity and population census that's why just to hear we are planning after the census we will submit our program to authority about 2.4.1 for the standalone survey. Saleha is preparing the program and another thing from Mr. Nico's space we understand that since SDZ 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 we have collected some data we can try to calculate SDZ 2.4.1 from that questionnaire is it okay Mr. Nico? Yeah I'm here I'm listening yeah well I think that I think that the final word is on Asfandiar but in principle I would say yes but I kindly ask Asfandiar to double Mr. Shoridil presented as a aggregate sample census questionnaire and we included some questions for SDZ to calculate as SDZ indicators and so far and we can try from 2.3.1 if we get that in maybe next month we are planning to go through training efforts maybe given concerns to arrange the training in the may be faster second week of august for SDZ 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 Professor, Mr. Professor Amirul is coordinating this and if we get the training if we get the direction from there we can try. Yeah yeah okay okay so the idea is to like to use these data scripts and try to calculate some of the subindicators so yeah I would say that's that this is great and I would definitely go for it. Sorry I didn't get it. We have the plan to arrange a standalone survey for 2.4.1 this indicator. Okay yeah I'm sorry because I have a poor connection so perhaps it's from my side that I'm kind of struggling to fully understand everything. So let me clarify you know if you are you know a connection is poor let me read it again what director just said that they are planning for a just a standalone survey for 2.4.1 and again you know he was also indicating that the status scripts that were provided that will be useful for the team to you know calculate the subindicators these are the main information from. Oh okay okay okay now I fully I fully understand yeah this is great the only my only recommendation is on the biodiversity indicators and yesterday Asfan they are highlighted that there have been a few revisions and refinement about that indicator therefore I mean just pay attention on on the biodiversity supportive practices for the rest I mean it's great that you envisaged to use the script for the data analysis and I think you know you are you're right but by the time this will start at the time I think you have already updated your status key for biodiversity one so bbs can request you for that you know status so there will be a problem I think you know if you if we are you know communicating to each other time to time okay that's great yeah thank you very much that's great and for sure I will I will amend the script as soon as we have new data collected okay I think you know if you know Afsandia and Stephanie and you have anything to say you can just to know continue and then finally I will again decrease the order directly just to know if someone concluding remarks before we finish no thank you thank you very much I I'm I'm really pleased that you know Mr. Azad the director of bbs has mentioned that they have concrete plans and concrete program to implement sg241 through an independent survey through a standalone survey so that's great because you know with with with that standalone survey we have produced all the all the you know support documents around it so it will be it will be fairly straightforward for Bangladesh to to implement that exercise and and mind you they can they can always because miss shaleha is is is we have had you know very good collaboration with miss shaleha on the pilot tests so she is the institutional memory as well as the the person whom we have been collaborating with bbs so so so basically you know I think miss shaleha knows the the survey module that we have developed as well as the support documents inside out but we are always there to to support bbs in going to the to the next phase of implementation of sg241 with this what I'll do is I will share a very short presentation that will in fact conclude the next steps from from from our side as to what we expect from bbs in the in the next two to three weeks so it will it will help us structure and organize our thoughts and our actions going forward in terms of next steps so this training was fairly fairly intense and I understand that sg241 is not an easy indicator it's a compendium it's a collection of 11 sub indicators which are which cut across the three dimensions of sustainability economic social and environmental and we capture aspects from profitability to biodiversity to decent work and food security so having all this information collected you know collected in one single framework is is not an easy not an easy job plus you know it's it's not easy as well for us to communicate all the information about the conceptual and mythological basis as well as the 11 sub indicators and then the reporting mechanism and the processes and the data collection etc so in you know encapsulating all these you know different subjects in one single training is never easy you know so from this point of view I commend the patients and the the interaction of the dbs colleagues and for their questions which kept us on our toes so in terms of next steps so I have clubbed these into into two into two thoughts okay so first is the reporting expectations for 2021 and 2022 on sg241 now as tiffania presented in her you know session that we are sending now periodically in august an FAO data collection questionnaire to all member states all 195 member states now if you recall the periodicity of sg241 is three years okay however what we do is we send this questionnaire you know two countries every year for them to validate and revise if there are any changes in the estimates that they provided last year or maybe there is a country like dbs like like Bangladesh which currently can report on one sub indicator or maybe the next year they can report on two and and maybe the very next year when you know once we will be publishing data for international reporting and sharing it with un sd they may be you know ready to report on three or four so it's to keep in touch with countries okay it's a way to keep in touch with countries and collect updated information on the go but mind you we are planning on sending you know the information for un sd reporting on whatever data exists with us this is for style being a tentative plan it's not yet been concretized but you know in 2022 we are going to report um whatever information we have received from member states whether you know some countries that may have provided a complete dashboard either may have provided us with one single sub indicator but that's just fine as i was already mentioning but we are going to report to un sd that's the plan so so that's one thing in the short term um you know if if if if in this case Bangladesh is ready to report on a partial dashboard even one of the 11 sub indicator that's fine at least it will give us something to say about you know Bangladesh in the in the final findings to united nation statistical division in the medium to longer term as i was mentioning in my presentation so if you recall now the methodology of sd 241 the way it is structured now is around farm survey okay so all information is coming from one standalone agriculture survey or the question from it integrated into the country's agriculture survey but by and large information is coming from farm surveys or agriculture survey so we are now on on on requests from countries several countries we are now developing um a solution around using existing or alternative data sources okay and and and i explained that as to what do we mean by alternative data sources as to whether we can use remote sensing as to whether we can use other monitoring system administrative records including agriculture senses and other sources of information maybe dipstick studies maybe ad hoc surveys okay maybe some research studies whether those can be used to report on report on sd 241 and i mentioned as well in my presentation that is not an easy job because the survey scope is different it's coverage is different it's it's subjective sort are different it's periodicity is different um you know so so so all maybe you know a survey has all these components but maybe it doesn't have agriculture area as is it cannot be linked to agriculture area of the country so so all these issues we are we are tackling with these we are working with with international experts on us developing you know these alternative sources of information but that's something which is which is ongoing in parallel so as soon as this is made available we will share it with countries okay in parallel again as i was mentioning earlier continuous outreach and capacity development support to to several countries is underway right now and this is in close coordination and collaboration with 50 by 2030 initiative which i explained to you is the FAO world bank and ifad project to support 50 lower and lower middle income country countries by 20 by 20 20 by 30 um you know so that's that's the program so and then there were some questions as to whether Bangladesh is eligible and Bangladesh can take advantage of this program and which i said yes in principle Bangladesh is eligible you may want to write to us we will provide you with the credentials or contact details of the right people who are responsible for this project and then the standing committee of that particular project will see as to as to when and when when will Bangladesh receive support on on those two projects so we are collaborating with these initiative but we are not sc2 for one team is not in direct control of this project okay so there is another team which is which is which is handling the affairs of these programs so please do write to them you know maybe we have already provided you with the contact details if not we will do that copy us and you can always give a reference to to to this training in in those in that request um the coming back to the stream of work on alternative data sources as i was mentioning we are already working on remote sensing for some selected sub indicator of 241 from august to december we we we are expanding these efforts to include other data sources okay to administrative records etc i'm not going to go into details so the ultimate idea is to have some sort of practical manual or draft or guidelines prepared on how remote sensing and other data sources can be used to report on 241 so the idea for us is because of the COVID-19 situation it has we have suffered a lot like every other institution across the globe in terms of you know accomplishing our activities so this program which was supposed to be finalized by the end of this year is not going to be i believe is going to be completed by mid of next year so just to be just just to tell you that you know we will have additional um solutions for sd241 apart from agriculture survey uh prepared uh to offer to countries now you know i would i would like to have uh you know that that discussion already took place because the esteemed director and the deputy director mr azad and mr miss shaleha both presented their views um by any case i mean they if they would like to reflect further on on these questions uh the first one is as to what extent your current your country is currently ready to report on sd241 based on current farm survey approach which which i believe Bangladesh is is currently not because now they are envisioning uh the standalone survey uh you know in the near future um secondly is to what alternative data sources do you envision that can be used to report on the 11 sub indicators of 241 apart from the ones that we have highlighted if you think that there are some in Bangladesh which can readily be used then please identify those and communicate it to us and third is what are the constraints that inhibit your countries to report to your country to report on sd241 in the short term even the current state of agricultural statistical system and how are you planning on overcoming these challenges in the medium to long term again this question got answered by the by the esteemed director that they are planning to have a program for sd241 approved and if you have uh you know further expectations from feo in terms of technical support to improve you know reporting on on on this indicator so these are these are the four questions that uh that you know we would we would like you to react to plus in terms of the next steps we will share with your stock taking exercise uh i thought that it was already shared but if it has not uh been shared uh to my knowledge then you know basically we will share this with you please fill it in and we need one consolidated reply one consolidated official reply from bbs um as for the stock taking exercise is concerned so please send it back to us this will give us an idea as to where to stand in terms of reporting on 241 right now and then you know perhaps you have already prepared an action plan because uh you have all meshle has already working on this program of work on a standalone survey so if you can summarize your action in in in one or two pages for us and then share it with us okay um but this will give us um a very good knowledge that we can share with our superiors here with within FAO especially with the office of the chief statistician Mr. Pietro Ginari who is the custodian of the of the SDG indicators 21 SDG indicators that FAO is responsible for and as well as Mr. Jose Rosero Moncaio who is the director ESS division so we are gonna we are gonna share this two page action plan with our concerned authorities here at FAO and then we will see as to as to how best we can support you going forward in terms of you um rolling out uh this this extensive data collection of on SDG 241 using a dedicated agriculture survey and I stop here so you can always write to us on on these two email addresses plus um we can always call us um and ask us any technical administrative or many maybe any other question related to to SDG 241 in particular and SDGs in general as well you know so thank you very much for the for the patience and for for for for the for listening I just would like to add a couple of things and that's uh and this is just a brief brief summary and then I'll stop okay uh so Stefania will share with you the stock taking excel sheet we would need one consolidated reply from DBS um ideally through the office of the director so we need one official reply we would also need um you to share with us along with the stock taking exercise uh an action plan an action plan which you know which we discussed very briefly is that in the meanwhile BBS is working on this uh the standalone agriculture survey that will be around SDG 241 to collect information on the indicator and maybe in the longer run then they will on a medium to long run they will um you know get support through 50 by 23 initiative so something on on on those lines so a couple of pages along with the stock taking excel excel file um and I stop here and I thank all of you um the the esteemed participant the respected participants as well as the deputy director the director and the and and all other colleagues um especially Amarul Islam um and FAO Bangladesh FAO regional office uh for making this this training you know insightful and interesting for us well okay so I will open my media or I don't know if you want to do the same to to officially close this fourth day or and last of the virtual training so as Pandia already said thank all of you and Amarul uh please feel free to contact us anytime even if you have any questions on me if you since I will be sharing also the recording and you will be maybe watching again the training if you have any questions that moment please write us and we we will answer and we will put you in contact in case on to the relevant people and we are always open for for having a this interactive uh contact with the countries um it's very important for us so as as Pandia already summarized the most important things maybe I will just add again that we will be sending the question for this year in the coming uh two to three weeks more or less so you expect this to come soon and as he said please report whatever you have it's very important for us even if you have maybe only uh once you've been together with partial data it's still important for us okay so what about if we take one last picture since now we have 24 participants which is uh almost the maximum we had during this training so if you want to open your camera I will I will take another picture and then and then we we officially close I don't know Jaluigi if you want to say a few words as well since you were one more one important part of this training now yeah just a couple of very quickly because before I forgot to mention regarding the data analysis tool that in reality we have also developed a template which is based on the latest question and we will be sending also this one even though I mean the template unfortunately cannot be uh run using the data collected uh two years ago with the pilot survey but I'm sure the template is fully harmonized with the latest version of the question so this is uh just one thing that I wanted to to mention and that I forgot to say before but especially I want to thank everybody for your kind attention for your passion and especially for your stimulating and somehow challenging question during the last two days so yeah thank you very much for everything it was a great experience from my side and I hope there will be more in the near in the in the next month yeah thank you again no just to know if you allow me I will just add something with it you know uh as we have time we can just you know give some opportunity to tell something about this you know training uh because you know we have our focal point at bbs at the same time we have you know focal point for hdc at bbs we have our agriculture director so let us then know listen to a few remarks from them if you just um by time permits now I will request our you know uh Mr. Alangir Sen uh just to know briefly just to know share your uh no views actually here Mr. Alangir thank you thank you for giving
