| Abstract | The International Fertilizer Development Centre (IFDC), through its AfricaFertilizer.org (AFO) initiative, has collaborated with the Food and Agriculture Organization's CountrySTAT program over the past nine years to enhance the accuracy and accessibility of fertilizer statistics in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2022, the Fertilizer Technical Working Groups (FTWGs) expanded to include Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique, focusing on the validation and dissemination of fertilizer production, trade, and consumption data. This report summarizes a workshop held in Lilongwe, Malawi, on September 27-28, 2022, aimed at introducing the Visualizing Insights on Fertilizer for African Agriculture (VIFAA) dashboard, validating fertilizer statistics from 2016 to 2022, and discussing the impacts of government subsidy programs amidst ongoing global fertilizer crises. Key outcomes included the validation of national fertilizer statistics, development of statistical output tables, and gathering participant feedback on the VIFAA dashboard. The workshop emphasized the critical need for reliable data to inform agricultural policies and improve food security across the region. | |
