    The project “Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in Lao PDR” has the 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 development of the Land Resources Information Management System (LRIMS), the Agro-Ecological Zoning (AEZ) and the socio-agricultural scenarios. This document also discussed the procedure for implementing the training process including in-country and overseas trainings. This assessment has been developed by the Department of Agricultural Land Management (DALaM) within the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry but will benefit a multiplicity of national level actors.
