Expert meeting (to identify project risk areas, formulate the project plan, discuss soil analysis and mapping results, and evaluate project outcomes)

Baseline investigation, soil and water sampling analysis, and mapping: To collect and analyze soil and water samples and integrate the data into maps, providing fundamental data support for the project

A two-day training program for farmers and staff: To cover knowledge of heavy metal pollution, soil and water sampling techniques, and nutrient management, enhancing understanding and technical skills

Enhanced awareness of heavy metal pollution: To raise awareness among 10% of farmers in the target area regarding heavy metal pollution in soil and water through training and publicity, verified by reports.

Assessment results: Collection and analysis of 1,200 soil and water samples to obtain accurate heavy metal pollution assessment results, verified by the analysis report.

Training and conference effectiveness: Holding three conferences and training 350 trainees, with effectiveness verified through records, reports, and participant feedback, enhancing understanding and participation.

Three expert meetings were held, defining project goals, sampling areas, and analysis elements, establishing a solid foundation.

Baseline surveys were completed in parts of the Ayeyarwady and Nay Pyi Taw areas, surveying numerous farmers and collecting extensive information.

Soil and water sampling analysis and mapping were underway, with significant sample collection in Kyaunggon and Tatkon Townships. Some samples were analyzed, and spatial distribution maps of heavy metals were generated.

Training activities were successfully conducted, with multiple sessions for farmers and agricultural department staff in target areas covering heavy metal pollution knowledge and soil and water sampling techniques, effectively enhancing participant awareness and skills.
