Under the supervision of the project coordinator, the Individual Contractor will carry out the following tasks: The scope of the consultancy is defined by two fundamental activities. The first consists of characterizing drug destruction activities based on field data collection and support in the visual interpretation of coca crops in satellite images. Characterization of drug destruction activities The characterization of drug destruction activities consists of completing surveys or forms on the procedure carried out by the Special Force for the Fight against Drug Trafficking and the Public Ministry. Interpretation The visual interpretation of coca crops will be carried out using very high-resolution satellite images and applying the methodology established for monitoring coca crops. All inputs for the visual interpretation process will be provided by the project.
