In collaboration with the Embassy of Vanuatu, Brussels and the High Commission of Fiji in the United Kingdom.
The National Agricultural Data Infrastructure policy guide provides a comprehensive overview of a sectoral approach to digital public infrastructure aimed at establishing a coordinated and collaborative framework for agricultural data management.
The Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda for Trade and Investment (CCA) drives digitalisation for trade and investment through regulations, digital innovations, private sector engagement and using the agricultural and fisheries sectors as case studies.
In 2022, the Commonwealth Secretariat released a report on the state of digital agriculture in the Commonwealth. The report was produced based on a framework – a digital agriculture framework - that was developed through a multi-stakeholder process. At the centre of this framework is data infrastructure.
This is now the foundation for building resilient food systems through the National Agricultural Data Infrastructure (NAgDI) initiative.
The National Agricultural Data Infrastructure Policy Guide was produced with the support of member countries and experts and was validated through an online webinar with over 60 global experts.
Please join us for a hybrid launch of this policy guide, online and in the Delegates Lounge, Marlborough House, Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5HX.
