On-the-job training on Irrigation Performance Assessment - Kenya (WaPOR Phase2)

This training primarily focuses on providing online technical instruction on Water Productivity (WP) and Irrigation Performance Assessment (IPA)for the Mwea irrigation scheme using FAO's WaPOR data. It begins by introducing the concepts of IPA, Python programming for downloading WaPOR data, and performing geospatial analyses with it. Participants will also learn to use tailored Python scripts for IPA within the Mwea irrigation scheme and how to publish results on a dashboard. Trainees should have a basic understanding of remote sensing data and GIS. Based on a needs assessment, a few days of in-person training may be organized toward the end of the program.
