    Evaluation report
    Terminal evaluation of the project "Strengthening agroclimatic monitoring and information systems to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in the Lao People's Democratic Republic"

    The project focused on technical innovation to strengthen efforts to build climate resilience of smallholder producers. The project, beyond original expectations, generated an agroecological zoning modelling tool (pyAEZ) of global relevance. The project achieved many of its outputs, some of which went beyond the indicators and exceeded targets for coverage. Securing co-financing (and engaging other actors in complementary efforts) was very successful. The network of weather stations was improved along with establishing a laboratory for calibration of the sensors of the automatic weather station (AWS), and the Lao Climate Service for Agriculture (LaCSA), a decision-making tool developed by the project to provide agrometeorological advisories and early warnings. The project was found to have made a significant contribution to strengthening agroclimatic monitoring and information systems to improve adaptation to climate change and food security.

    The project was implemented from 26 May 2017 to 30 June 2022. It aimed to i) enhance the monitoring, analsyis, communication and use of agrometerological data and information at national and provincial levels for decision-making in agriculture and food security; and ii) improve the monitoring and analsysis of agriculture production systems by strengthening the Land Resources Information Management System (LRIMS) and agroecological zoning (AEZ) for agricutltural policies and climate change adaptation. The evaluation covered the project's full five-years and aimed to provide evidence of the most productive egroclimatic approaches for the country.

    This Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Plan is prepared for the project “Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in Lao PDR”. The project is funded by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) under its Least Developed Country Fund (LDCF). The M&E Plan covers monitoring of project performance and evaluation of project impacts. Monitoring is used for performance evaluation through assessing success of the project in achieving its time bound targets and objectives whereas the project impacts evaluation is done through the data generated from project studies and analysis as well as baseline survey, midterm survey and end of the project evaluation. Both project performance and impact evaluation will contribute to improve decision making and management, for keeping the project on track towards achieving the outcomes and objectives and by integrating lessons learnt into planning.
