Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia Main recommendations from national experts (25 countries from the REU Region) Use of other sources such as the Household Budget Survey (HBS), the Living Standard Measurement Survey (LSMS), Time-use Surveys etc. FAO to provide clear definitions and terminology and statistical instruments to be used. Streamline the terminology through consultation with other international organizations working in the field of gender/agricultural statistics
