The one-paragraph answer: years, implementer, funder and purpose, each from document metadata.
The program supported a Regional Seminar on Remote Sensing Techniques held in Lima, Peru between August 7 and 18, 1978.1 The Environmental Research Institute of Michigan conducted the seminar under sponsorship of the U.S. Agency for International Development.1 The seminar's purpose was to introduce government officials to remote sensing technology through a series of lectures.2

No district, region or facility is named in this program's documents yet. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far. Towns and natural features are not drawn.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: global. How the scope was set is not described yet. High confidence.
How sure we are: 0.95.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year

DEC topic and subject tags. They describe the documents, not what the program was. Each tag opens its evidence in the drawer.
Programs worth reading next, by topic, implementer, country and years. Similar by facets (topic, implementer, country, years) and, when available, description. It says the programs look alike, not how they are related in time. Source: catalog facets
