Digital transformation in action
At the beginning of 2020, FAO kicked off an initiative to modernize EMPRES-i, aiming to redevelop the system based on updated technologies and enhanced capabilities, with a strong emphasis on improving the data analytic capabilities provided in order to perform risk assessments, and epidemiological and trend analysis with integrated contextual information (livestock carrying capacity, climate data and environmental data). The first public version of the portal was launched in 2021 and is now powered by the HiH Geospatial Platform. The Event Mobile Application (EMA-i) was launched in Iraq in 2022, which was the first time the version was translated into Arabic and that an end-to-end reporting process was introduced for field veterinarians.
Food and Agriculture Microdata (FAM) catalog

The FAM Catalog provides an inventory of datasets collected through farm and household surveys that contain information related to agriculture, food security and nutrition. Its aim is to be a one-stop shop containing metadata on all agricultural censuses and surveys that are publicly available, as well as providing direct access and/or links to the microdata. The system was upgraded during the summer of 2022, which also meant an upgrade of the underlying World Bank Nada platform on which the system is based, and has led to performance improvements, bug fixes and an enhanced interface.
