Preparations for the Soils4Liberia Field Campaign is on the way.
March, 2026
Here are some updates from the Soils4Liberia project from the past couple of months:
- Preparation is underway for the field campaign — during which field surveyors will collect soil samples from 1,000 sites across Liberia. The sampling points represent various agroecological zones and land uses. The data produced will form the basis of the Liberia Soil Information System (LSIS).
- An offline Survey (ODK and ONA) and online Data Management Tools (SDMT) will be deployed to collect, manage and coordinate the field campaign. The tools are at an advanced stage of development and will soon be available for national deployment.
- Training materials are being prepared for field prospectors. This includes detailed fieldwork guidance and a series of instructional videos to be shared soon.
