The terms of reference established for a specific e‑meeting should be narrow and focused to minimize as far as possible the duration of the meeting and to maximize its efficiency. (...) A suggested approach for e-mail activities as a means to conduct a drafting activity is given in Appendix B.
5.2.5 Conclusion of the Meeting
The substance of the report shall be agreed before the conclusion of the meeting. (...) Avoid including multiple proposals in one document; these should be handled in multiple documents in order to minimize the amount of information in each document and therefore to minimize the time needed to download any one document.

• Encouragement of coordination of data collections by international and regional agencies particularly with collections for SDG reporting. • UNSD to update an inventory of data collection activities to collectively construct a synthesis of environment statistics data collection processes at the international level. (to be reported to the UN Statistical Commission, March 2020); partners are being encouraged to contribute. • Countries may consider applying the e‐waste tool provided by United Nations University.
EGES conclusions of interest to the Joint Task Force on Environmental Statistics and

• On water statistics: UNSD and Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) sharing focal points of their data collections to minimize respondent burden. • UNSD, FAO, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Eurostat compiling a correspondence table comparing like terms among questionnaires. • UNSD, FAO, OECD, Eurosat working toward harmonized data collections while working toward an integrated questionnaire. • Countries informing UNSD of how inter‐institutional stakeholder meetings (at the national level) are being used to coordinate compilation of environment statistics.
(...) It will be submitted to the Statistical Commission in 2020 as part of the Background Report on Environment statistics to the Report of the Secretary‐General on Environment Statistics. • Countries that also provide bilateral assistance will also be asked about their current and planned activities which will be shared.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION OF THE ETIR INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM AND ASPECTS OF THE INTERCONNECTION WITH ETIR STAKEHOLDERS
(b) Rationale
31. A high reliability minimizes the costs to develop, operate and maintain the eTIR
international system.
32. A high reliability minimizes the resources required by eTIR stakeholders to develop,
operate and maintain the interconnection between their information systems and the eTIR
international system.
(...) Ease of connectivity minimizes the costs on the eTIR service desk to assist contracting
parties in interconnecting their national customs systems to the eTIR international system.

The MID-RRSS/2 Summary of Discussion is provided at Appendix A and available on ICAO MID website at http://www.icao.int/MID/Pages/meetings.aspx.
2.4 The meeting may wish to note that the RASG-MID/4 meeting reviewed the outcome of RSC/3 and developed fifteen Conclusions and Decisions out of them five Conclusions are directly related to RGS as listed at Appendix B.
2.5 In addition, RASG-MID/4 meeting noted that the ANC commended, after review of the RASG-MID/3 report, the coordination of work between the MIDANPIRG and RASG-MID on safety-related issues and the transfer of aerodrome safety to RASG-MID.
2.6 The RASG-MID/4 meeting reviewed the outcome of the RSC/3 meeting related to the MID Region Safety Strategy and endorsed the inclusion of new Safety Indicator “Number of established Runway Safety Team (RST) at MID International Aerodromes”.
2.7 The DGCA-MID/3 meeting supported the RASG-MID Conclusion 4/9 encouraging MID States to establish RST at their international aerodromes, support Runway Safety Go-Team activities, and request Runway Safety Go-Team visits if required.
2.8 In addition, the DGCA-MID/3 meeting agreed to the following Conclusion related to noise monitoring and control:
DGCA-MID/3 CONCLUSION 3/6- NOISE MONITORING AND CONTROL
That, States be urged to:
a) conduct a comprehensive noise study in order to identify the airports where
mitigation measures are necessary to minimize the number of people affected by aircraft noise, and develop associated plans of action, accordingly; and
b) send an update on the results of the study and actions implemented/planned
to the ICAO MID Regional Office by December 2015.
3. (...) CONCLUSION 4/7: REDUCTION OF UN-STABILIZED APPROACH RISK
That, States that have not yet done so, be urged to minimize the risk of unstabilized approach through (but not limited to):
a) training of operators (pilots, air traffic controllers/air navigation service
providers, and aerodrome operators);
b) development of relevant Guidance materials;
c) encouraging the reporting of un-stabilized approaches, assessment and mitigation of the associated risk and conduct of necessary safety oversight, as part of SMS implementation; and
d) review of Standards Operation Procedures.
CONCLUSION 4/8: DEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL RUNWAY SAFETY PROVISIONS
That, ICAO consider the development of additional Runway Safety provisions.

Key Challenges of Agriculture in Africa
The sector is dominated by poor smallholders, engaged in subsistence agriculture
Heterogeneity and diversity of farming systems and the importance of livestock
Predominance of customary land tenure
Low and stagnant labor productivity and minimal mechanization
Key roles of women in agriculture and in ensuring household food security
No SSA country is among the world’s leading exporters of processed food products
Key Challenges of Agriculture in Africa
Limited implementation of policies
Poor rural infrastructure especially storage and irrigation
Low access to technology
Limited access to international market
Tariff and non‐tariff barriers to intra‐regional trade
Low access to financial services and to attract investors
Impacts of drought/desertification
New challenges: climate change and bio‐energy
The global investment needs for agriculture are significant
Aid to agriculture declined in the past 15 years. (...) Mitigation
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector, especially methane and nitrous oxide
Non exceedance of crop N requirements
Appropriate timing/conditions for manure application
Increase livestock nutrient use efficiency
Aid Effectiveness
Donor coordination should be improved
Need for harmonization and complementary actions among donors
Individual partners have to be selective in their contributions
Build purposeful partnerships among African governments, donors, civil society, and private sector, or in other words, the overall “aid architecture”
Align to the country system and development programs
Conclusion
Increasing the productivity of food crops is a top priority for Africa today, given the strong prospect of world food prices
This requires sizeable investments in irrigation, storage, transport infrastructure, as well as access to input markets It also requires better functioning markets and stronger linkages to buyers and processors.
(...) This is an area where technical assistance from donors and international agro‐food corporations would prove very useful
Conclusion
Africa’s agricultural development and food security efforts require leadership, ambition and appropriate scale of resources Bridge the gaps in terms of useful knowledge, technology and funding Promotion of private sector in agriculture goes well beyond the sector itself and cuts across several policy domains Sustaining achieved benefits at the farm level after the withdrawal of donor support remains a challenge which should already be receiving more consideration during the project design
