Training on Access the weather information and Advisory Service via Mekong Farm App

Abstract

This report documents training on DCAS to support Community Fish Refuges (CFRs) and Community Fisheries (CFis) in Cambodia by providing skills to use digital tools for climate-advisory decision-making. Specific objectives include to equip DTWG members and CFR committees with the ability to access and use localized climate information, to strengthen adaptive decision-making capacities of small-scale fishers and farming households, to enhance technical advisory skills for climate-smart management of fisheries, and to align community-level climate advisory practices with broader bilateral projects such as MACP-II to safeguard aquatic biodiversity and rural livelihoods. Specific outputs include 69 participants (including 11 females) trained from DTWGs and CFR committees, improved access to localized climate information for 10 CFRs across Ba Phnom district (Prey Veng province) and San Tuk district (Kampong Thom province), strengthened adaptive capacity of small-scale fishers and farming households, enhanced technical advisory capacity and alignment with ongoing projects to support sustainable fisheries management.
