In order to gather information about OECD member governments’ current experiences with digital technologies, the Secretariat constructed a questionnaire. The questionnaire provided information on the current and expected use (within the next three years) of digital technologies to support the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of agri-environmental policies in OECD countries. In particular, it focuses on better understanding:
-
which types of data are currently used and how they are gathered
-
the extent to which agri-environmental policymakers and programme managers make use of particular digital technologies in carrying out their functions as they relate to the agricultural sector, including for policy design, policy implementation, monitoring and compliance, policy evaluation, and communication
-
the extent to which use of digital technologies differs across agri-environmental policy areas
-
strategies or management policies organisations are putting in place maximise their beneficial use of digital technologies
-
organisations’ experiences with digital technologies and future plans.
Four members volunteered to participate in the testing of the questionnaire: Canada, Chile, New Zealand and the Netherlands. The test questionnaire was sent to participants on 18 January 2018, for return on 23 February 2018.
The questionnaire received 46 responses covering 67 institutions (some responses consolidated data from several institutions) from 16 OECD member countries, plus the European Commission’ Directorate-General for Agriculture (Table A B.1). These responses provided data on 108 policies and programmes, as well as respondents’ experiences with and views on use of digital technologies by their organisation. This dataset provides a wealth of information on how digital technologies are currently being used by reporting organisations.
The Questionnaire data is available on the OECD website as a digital annex, or can be obtained by contacting the OECD. For enquiries relating to this data, please contact the OECD Trade and Agriculture Directorate ([email protected]).
