 graphy in five targeted regions of the world\, namely Africa\, the Caribbe
 an\, Mexico\, Southeast Asia\, and Middle East.  LAAAMP’s programs inclu
 de the development of a Strategic Plan for each region\; a Colloquium prog
 ram that sends experienced light source and crystallography users to those
  regions\; establishment of new IUCr-UNESCO Crystallography OpenLabs\; des
 ign and distribution of a Brochure that describes advanced light sources a
 nd crystallography for government officials and the public\; 2-month Facul
 ty-Student (FAST) Team training visits to advanced light sources\, with ap
 proximately 30 new users participating in 2019\; and culminating in a Dece
