Agriculture plays a central and strategic role in the development of Africa. It is the key to economic growth, the rise in incomes and living standards, the alleviation of poverty and the improvement of food security. A Global Strategy to improve agricultural and rural statistics was established by the United Nations Statistical Commission. Africa is fully committed to the implementation of the Strategy via its 2011-2015 Action Plan for the improvement of statistics on Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture, and Rural Development. This plan has three major components: technical assistance, training, and research. In pursuit of that goal, human resource management is one aspect that requires consideration and achievable through better planning and appropriate training of staff within the agricultural statistics agencies in African countries. The guide comprises the following parts: Part one is an outline of some basic concepts in the field of human resource management; Part two, which is titled overview of policies on human resource management in agricultural statistics agencies (ASAs); Part three provides guidelines on the development of human resource management policies in ASAs; Part four is on good practices in the field of human resource management which need to be encouraged within the ASAs; Part five focuses on partnerships and initiatives in promotion of the ASAs; Part six contains recommendations and the conclusion.
