    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.

    The main problem to be addressed by the Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) project was the lack of human and institutional capacity to monitor and analyseclimate variability and climate change impacts in the agricultural sector in both near-real time and the future. The project responded to this problem by providing solutions of a technical nature that were new or unknown to beneficiaries and stakeholders. The project had two objectives: i) to enhance at national and provincial levels, monitoring, analysis, communication and the use of agrometeorological data and information for decision-making in relation to agriculture and food security; and ii) to improve the monitoring and analysis of agricultural production systems by strengthening land resources information management systems through the development of a Land Resources Information Management System (LRIMS) and agroecological zoning (AEZ) to support agricultural policies and climate-change adaptation.
