The document provides information about the Natural Resources Laboratory at Mouloud MAMMERI University of Tizi Ouzou. It details that the laboratory has a surface area of 160 square meters, with 2 rooms. There are 9 staff members, including 1 professor, 5 PhDs, and 3 teacher researchers. The laboratory performs chemical, physical, and biological analyses on over 100 soil samples per year. The document asks what training and capacity building the laboratory needs most, and what expectations they have of GLOSOLAN and NENALAB, including providing technical assistance to develop staff performance, strengthening laboratory capacity and activities, and supporting the laboratory with necessary equipment.
