Introduction to QGIS and Kobotoolbox for Mapping Flood Based Farming Systems


About this Manual

This User Manual was developed based on an introductory training on the application of Geospatial Information Systems conducted by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) for the Department of Agriculture staff stationed in the Ayeyarwady Delta. The training and this Manual were financed by the European Union through IFAD under the Testing Flood-Based Farming Systems Project (FBFS), and the CGIAR Water, Land and Ecosystems Research Program, both managed by IWMI.
