CSA in collaboration with Mapping Agency, Information Net work Security Agency (INSA) and Ministry of Agriculture are working on land cover classification. This activity is funded by EC and technically supported by FAO.
In addition to the major out put of producing land cover information for the country, the land cover classification will also help to refine the strata’s in the area frame.
The National Statistical Development Strategy (NSDS) is designed in 2008/2009 and the National Statistical Council has been established to over see the implementation of the NSDS. The NSDS document has been endorsed by the council. The NSDS has given due emphasis to improve agricultural and environmental statistics.

The importance of statistical coordination and capacity building in the national statistics system is also emphasized in the NSDS.
The integrated survey frame work will create continuous flow of data and is cost effective. It will also make the data collected by different organizations more accessible, open and valuable.

In Ethiopia, National Integrated Household Survey program has been used since 1980. The frame built from the recent 2007 population and housing census is used as master frame for sample surveys in NIHSP. The EA’s in this frame are geo referenced. These geo referenced EAs are also used to build area frame.
Data from administrative records, agricultural business and community surveys are not coordinated but are located in dispersed manner. If this data is compiled to produce the necessary out put, it will minimize the data gap.

The role of the statistical coordination in the NSDS is crucial to implement the integrated survey frame work.
Generally the idea of using the Integrated Survey Frame Work is very important to facilitate the organization , manageability and sustainability of statistical activities, to compare and relate data generated, to increase the accessibility and value of available data, to minimize data gap and to save cost.
