Lesson Description Source
The best way to interpret satellite images for identifying coca crops is by enhancing the satellite information through preprocessing and subsequently conducting visual identification of polygons, supported by effective fieldwork UNODC, 2016
To ensure smooth development of activities, it's crucial to have solid institutional coordination, support for process and result interpretation, and to secure full project funding UNODC, 2016
Delays in budget availability create instability within the project's institutional framework and among the professional support team, impacting not only immediate compensation issues but also future project implications UNODC, 2016
