DEW-PH is a drought early warning system in the Philippines, focusing on agricultural drought monitoring and forecasting. With operationalization in mind, the system is continuously improved through ongoing research and development efforts. In October 2025, a study under the DEW-PH/DCAF project titled “Assessment of the 2023–2024 El Niño-Driven Drought Impacts in the Philippines Using a Satellite-Based Combined Drought Index (CDI)” was presented at the 46th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS) in Makassar, Indonesia.
The Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS) is Asia’s premier remote sensing event and brings together scientists, policymakers, and industry leaders from over 60 countries to advance geospatial technologies for a sustainable future. The study was presented under the poster session, B7: Application of Remote Sensing, where the study’s national research outputs and innovations were not only shared with an international audience, but were also reviewed by experts in the field. This provided valuable feedback that will support the continuous enhancement of the project and help build rapport for potential collaborations in the future.
