Laboratory for agro-meteorological sensor calibration established and
agro-meteorological monitoring facilities improved at national level
15 weather stations
Eight weather stations will be improved and seven new weather stations will be installed.
Also, agro-meteorological forecast will be piloted in five provinces.
Northern part: Kham, Xieng Ngeun, Phieng, Xieng Hone, Houn,
LaungNamtha, Sing, Houayxay and Tonpheung Districts.
Central Part: Xaithany, Phonhong, Feuang and Anouvong Districts.
Southern Part: Laongam and Khong Districts.
Climate and Agro-meteorological Division facilities are
renovated and a laboratory for calibration and maintenance
of agro-meteorological essential sensors is installed.
Also, high performace computing systems for data entry
and climate analysis is set up.

The Laos Climate Services in Agriculture (LaCSA) system
LaCSA archives and processes agro-meteorological and climatological data. By means of such data,
it interpolates and provides agro-meteorological services to end-users. The system generates and
delivers agro-met services to farmers by analyzing the meteorological and crop cycle data. It produces
seasonal forecast and seven days bulletins. The seven days bulletin contains weekly weather bulletin,
climate smart agriculture recommendations and pest and diseases risk advisory.

Products and partnerships
A first LaCSA testing phase will be developed and delivered to farmers by the 2019 season. The
finalized LaCSA will be available in 2020 and will continue to be improved in the 2021 crop season.
The activity is realized with the support of APEC Climate Center (APCC), and in collaboration with the
Ministry of Agriculture and Forest, including the Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute (NAFRI)
and the Plant Protection Centre (PCC). A collaboration with the CGIAR CIAT Research Center in Hanoi
is supporting various aspects of capacity development and field level research.
Institutional capacity development
The training will be realised by RIMES (the Regional Integrated Multi-Hazard Early Warning System), by the
CGIAR CIAT Research Center in Hanoi, by the Asian Institute of Technology, and by the APEC Climate Center.

Standard Operation Procedures (SOP)
The project will prepare the procedures for carrying out a given agro-meteorological operation,
or Standard Operation Procedures (SOP). SAMIS role is to help setting up an environment of
discussion at managerial level and to improve the consciousness and responsibility of staff by
assigning clear duties. SOP for Climatology and Agro-meteorology Division will be endorsed and
approved by the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH) and at the ministry level.
