This project helped in  modernizing the agro-meteorological observing and monitoring system of Myanmar’s Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH).  

Key activities included site selection and survey; equipment acquisition; station installations and telemetry; integration into DMH systems; and onsite training on operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

The project contributed to FAO’s objective to strengthen capacity of member countries on good practices in knowledge exchange, information sharing, and gender, in support of rural livelihoods. The project involved customization of RIMES’ Specialized Expert System for Agro-meteorological Early Warning, incorporating climate and crop data, specific to Fiji, and preparation of training modules for admin and end users.
