How ever\, the technology holds immense potential for better food security pla nning and progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals\, notably Goa l 2: Zero Hunger.UNCTAD in collaboration with AIR CAS\, ANSO and NASRDA is organizing a regional workshop to bring together technicians\, policymake rs and other stakeholders from West African countries to receive training to use the CropWatch system. Across the four days of training provided by AIR CAS’s experts\, participants will be given access to the technology (both during and after the programme) and will be provided with training t o use it\, including being taught how to customize it to specific local re quirements.The CropWatch Innovative Cooperation Programme (CropWatch ICP) has the objective of giving developing countries access to these technolog ies\, developed by AIR CAS\, free of charge and indefinitely while trainin g national experts to use them and implement them in their home countries. The intended outcome of the training and the CropWatch programme is to en able developing countries to improve food security through advanced crop m onitoring. National experts will receive training to use the technology\, enabling them to put it to use and to train further local stakeholders to use it.<\;p>\;Crop monitoring with earth observation on a massive scal e is neither easy nor inexpensive\, and requires access to specialized too ls.
