Global Information Exchange System (GIES)
This year, the new version of the GIES Global Records System fighting illegal fishing was released. The GIES enables parties to cooperate and exchange information on port denials and inspection results, and to flag state actions with relevant states, FAO, other international organizations and regional fisheries management organizations.
International FAO Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring (InFARM) data platform
The InFARM platform was released for pilot testing at the end of 2022. This platform is envisioned to support Members in the collection, collation, analysis and reporting of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and use (AMU) data in food and agriculture (i.e. AMR in food producing animals and food,
AMR and AMU in plants and AMU in animals at the farm level as a responsibility shared with the World Organisation for Animal Health [WOAH]). This will introduce a governance structure and provide countries with analytical and reporting capacities to make use of their data to inform their AMR actions/policies.
Livestock Sector Investment and Policy Toolkit (LSIPT)
The LSIPT is a toolkit designed to assess and improve technical and/or financial livestock sector situations in a certain area with the aim to give an overview of the economic status of the area itself by calculating and simulating financial aggregations at various levels: household, value chain, up to Gross Domestic Product. The principal motivation behind the development of this software is that, until now, livestock specialized teams had worked on a series of Microsoft Excel files on their own computers: this implied unlinked results in a local environment, with users obliged to pass Excel sheets back and forth in order to collaborate. With the new web version of the LSIPT software, FAO tried to overcome this issue, granting users the ability to collaborate and to link calculation results. Users can also have a history of the project to know how the project is advancing. A workshop was held in Tunis, Tunisia to train a group of experts from several resource centres on the new tool in October 2022.
