Page 1: BENEFITS OBJECTIVES 1.natural resources information system. Improved intra and inter-institutional coor-dination, and inclusion of information into the national e-government system

OBJECTIVES1. To enhance national and provincial levels monitoring, analysis, communication and use of agro-meteorological data and in formation for decision-making in relation to agriculture and food security.

2. To improve monitoring and analysis of agricultural production systems by strength-ening Land Resources Information Manage-ment Systems (LRIMS) and Agro-Ecological Zoning (AEZ) to support agricultural policies and climate-change adaptation.

EXPECTED IMPACTGovernment adopts improved national poli-cies and local adaptation strategies informed by enhanced information to support sustain-able agriculture and livelihoods.

BENEFITSThe project will develop scenarios for policies and plans for agriculture and natural resource management at national and provincial levels in Lao PDR.

Improved agrometeorological network and natural resources information system.

Improved intra and inter-institutional coor-dination, and inclusion of information into the national e-government system.

Pilot information flow will benefits decision makers and smallholders in Xe Champone and Beung Kiat Ngong with a specific at-tention to gender and women activities.

At national level capacity on geographical information and agro-meteorological will be enhanced. At local level, capacity to use information generated by the project will be improved.

Page 3: BENEFITS OBJECTIVES 1.natural resources information system. Improved intra and inter-institutional coor-dination, and inclusion of information into the national e-government system

Component 1/ Agroclimatic monitoring and analysisThe project enhances the existing agro-meteorological networks and develops the infrastructure, procedures and capacity to provide high quality data and information services.

Agrometeorological station network15 stations will be installed and 15 will be upgraded

Improved data coding and communicationConnectivity between stations, provincial and national centres will be enhanced

Standard operating procedures Harmonization of procedure, update of guidelines and handbooks, appropriate staff training

Standards for monitoring, processing and analysis A calibration laboratory and required analytical capability will be established

Close collaboration with partner projects investing in agro-meteorological forecast and infrastructure upgrades will ensure harmonized and integrated activities, effective flow of information and enhanced support to local and national decision makers.

SAMIS will use the Land Resources Information Management System (LRIMS), the National Agro-Ecological Zoning (NAEZ) and the Socio-Agricultural Vulnerability Analysis (SAVA) to analyse Systems at Risk (SAR).

LRIMS is a data integration and analysis system for land suitability evaluation and for modelling land responses.

NAEZ is a spatial analysis system quantifying land productivity based on the FAO Agro-Ecological Zones methodology.

SAVA uses geo-referred census variables and socio-economic parameters to characterize vulnerability to hazards.

SAMIS will improve local level climate information services and will share them together with production scenarios to support local level planning and smallholders adaptation strategies through appropriate Farmer Field School curricula for climate change adaptation.
