Book (stand-alone)Atlas of agricultural livelihoods and climate risk of the Lao People's Democratic Republic 2019–2020 2022
Also available in:
This Atlas presents the first national dataset on livelihoods and the farmers capacity to adapt to climate change in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. Maps included in the Atlas include the satisfaction of farmers’ basic needs, farmers’ access to the resources needed for innovation and the farmers’ capacity to translate innovation into action. The landscape characteristics mapped include attitudes towards livelihood-related change, economic activity, soil fertility, supporting infrastructure, food security issues, water security, institutional support and extension services, access to climate information through information and communication technologies (ICTs ), market access vis-a-vis production orientation, use of and access to agricultural inputs, livelihood diversification, and dependency on agriculture, including the rearing of livestock and fish. The dataset has been generated using an innovative method that combines participatory mapping and advanced data analysis, and which is, both in terms of technical standard and scientific innovation, state-of-the-art. The livelihood data is available online in the Land Resources Information Management System thanks to the work of two collaborating teams: "Applying seasonal climate forecasting and innovative insurance solutions to climate risk management in the agriculture sector in Southeast Asia” (De-Risk) project, implemented by CIAT; and the "Strengthening Agro-Climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS)" project, implemented by FAO. -
Book (series)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"
Project code: GCP/LAO/021/LDF - GEF ID 5462

No results found.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. -

Evaluation highlights
2024Also available in:
No results found.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.
