OPIUM POPPY SURVEYS IN LAOS AND MYNAMAR

• THE ICMP PROJECT OF THE UNODC CARRIES OUT ILLICIT
  CROP INVENTORY AND MONITORING IN COLLABORATION
  WITH NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
• The opium poppy survey in Myanmar and Laos
  follows widely accepted statistical protocols.
• A random and large sample of villages is surveyed
  in detail and the findings are then extrapolated.
• The survey involves interviews of community
  leaders to obtain basic information on opium
  poppy cultivation
• Physical measuring of planted surfaces and of
  poppy crop yield potential is carried out within
  a random selection of fields
• The survey is integrated by the use of satellite
  images for basic survey planning and, in specific
  conditions, the data collection and measuring
  itself.

2004 SURVEY IMPROVEMENTS AND INNOVATIONS

• NEW TRIAL PROCEDURE FOR LAOS AND THE WA/KOKAN
  (KOWI) AREA IN MYANMAR
• Application of an AREA FRAME approach
• Enumeration and survey over sub-district segments
  for the socio-economic data gathering.
• Use of grid survey for the estimation of opium
  poppy planted surfaces.
• PRELIMINARY ASSESMENT IN THE KACHIN, CHIN AND
  SAGAING STATES OF MYNAMAR
• Application of a POINT FRAME approach through the
  pre-selection of a random number of survey points
  over the whole area potentially cultivated with
  opium poppy
• ASSESMENT/CERTIFICATION OF THE AREAS DECLARED
  POPPY FREE
• Assessment of the presence/absence of poppy
  cultivation on assessment points in these area
  through the use of a point sampling frame
• NEW TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS FOR REMOTE
  SENSING DATA
