Synopsis (short abstract) The project “Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in LAO PDR” has as its objective to enhance capacities to gather, process, analyse, and share climatic and geospatial information so that these can be applied to planning and decision-making. The present Training Need Assessment determines the training needs for the activities of the project related to the climatology database management, agro-meteorology and climate services preparation, as well as standard operating procedures. This document also discusses the procedure for implementing the training process including in-country and overseas trainings. This assessment has been developed focusing at the need of the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) within the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment but will benefit a multiplicity of national level actors.

    Climatology and agroclimatology atlas of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic 2022
    Also available in:
    This atlas is a study of climate and agroclimate in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic for the period 1990–2019 based on the downscaling of long-term observation data. It has been produced as part of the “Strengthening Agro-Climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in Lao People’s Democratic Republic project. It aims to support the achievement of the Lao government’s priority targets, as set out in the country’s Ninth National Socio-Economic Development Plan (2021–2025). The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) is the main body responsible for the national climate database and producing climate statistics. The Department of Agricultural Land Management (DALAM) also provided expertise in the use of advanced downscaling technologies. This Atlas presents the results of the work carried out by these bodies. The information describes in detail the country’s climate and how it has changed over the last 30 years.
