Coordination with Committees - ADC

• CB and the GEO Portal Accepted ADC proposal to
  establish a joint task team (Alan Edwards, Gordon
  Bridge, Hilcea Ferreira, Imraan Saloojee)
• First OB review existing requirements drafted
  by CBC
• Second OB assess impact
• Prioritization of requirements
• Feasibility of the current architecture
• phasing of requirements
• evaluate impact on existing Tasks (and update the
  GEO wp if necessary)
• Third OB start implementation (through existing
  or new task)
• Best Practices Wiki for capturing Good CB
  practice
• Hilcea Santos Ferreira
• Chris Mannaerts
• Possible Joint Session in Boulder

Coordination with Committees - UIC

• US 06 01
• Linkage with determining CB needs (CB0701b)
• UNECA contribute to user requirements in Africa
• Potential UIC call for participation
• Identification of projects provides a linkage
  with donor engagement task
• Develop CB requirements from IGOS Theme Reports
• COPs as a vehicle to determine CB needs
• Joint Session in Boulder would require planning
  between co chairs

6
GCI and CB

• IOC Task Force and CBC Hilcea Santos
  Ferreira,Gordon Bridge, Alan Edwards
• CBC members identifying test cases in each GEO
  region to provide specific user feedback on
  portal usability e.g. Kenyan Wildlife Services

Work Plan Progress

• Task progressing well
• Most will continue into next work plan
• Excellent Progress made with Chlorogin (POGO,
  EC0607) , Building National Capacity (UNEP,
  CB0701d), Open Source (CB0701e)
• Recurring theme resources for task
  implementation
• Resource Mobilisation
• Identification of showcase projects from current
  tasks
• Possible Meetings with Resource Providers
• Task Sheets
• Addition of capacity building info Box

2009 2011 WorkplanCB Overarching themes/Tasks
(OAT)

• Resource mobilization
• Promoting education, training and certification
  (Build Individual Capacity to use EO)
• Strengthening and building networks (Build
  Institutional Capacity to use EO)
• Advancing Earth Observation through
  infrastructure development (Build Earth
  Observation capacity through technology transfer)
• Outreach and institutional reinforcement
  (Continuous Needs/Gap Assessment)

OAT and the CB Strategy

• The objectives outlined in the Capacity Building
  strategy, therefore, need to be the driver of the
  2009-2011 Work Plan Capacity Building activities
• The 2009-2011 Work Plan should include, realign
  and possibly redefine priority actions identified
  in the strategy
• The 2009-2011 Work Plan should address the I3 of
  Capacity Building namely Infrastructure,
  Institutional and Individual
• The current Work Plan largely focuses on
  developing the cross-cutting dimension of
  capacity building a bigger focus is required in
  the 2009-2011 Work Plan, through sub-tasks, on
  developing societal-benefit-area specific
  capacity building activities
