Welcome to the RegionSTAT EAC website

RegionSTAT is a statistical framework and applied information system for analysis and policy-making at the regional level which was designed in order to organize, integrate and disseminate statistical data and metadata on food and agriculture coming from different sources.

RegionSTAT gathers and harmonizes scattered institutional statistical data so that information is aggregated to the regional level and becomes compatible  with data at the international level. The main objectives are to facilitate decision-maker's access to information and to bind data sources that are currently spread throughout the different institutions.

The RegionSTAT approach is based on the application of data and metadata standards of FAOSTAT and GAUL (Global Administrative Unit Layers). Many countries have shown interest and are adopting it into their national statistical system. Furthermore, RegionSTAT is accompanied by a capacity-building strategy at country level to make the system sustainable in the long-term. RegionSTATis networking with FAOSTAT and other sister information systems like FENIX.
