  1. GEO Capacity Building survey instrument progress (2006 - 2007) Survey instrument progress (per 01/2007) * Reported by Chris Mannaerts (ITC) Imraan Salojee, Datong Zhao, E.Christia (GEO)

  2. Short details • GEO CB-06-01/03 actions • Initial survey (03/2006) to CB Committee members (only) • Extended survey (11/2006) to +- 500 organizations (> 60 countries) • Aim: • extend Cap building information gathering from broader audience • Supply GEO with more data on CB in EO

  3. Survey questions • Questions (similar to Survey I) on: • Executing institution, agency, organization • Activity type: Education &Training, Institutional, Infrastructural • Geographic target: global, regional, country.. • Target theme (Societal Benefit Area) • Time frame: continuous, fixed term,.. • Size incl. budget: budget, funding source,.. • Reported gaps, requirements • Future & intended developments • Additional small questionnaire on SBA Health

  4. Response overview • Initial mailing: 500 (valid addresses: 360 *) • Complete returns (<30 days): 87 (+- 25%) • Good world coverage: responses from 41 countries • Different sources origin as first initial survey • > 2000 new data points • .. Response per world region Responses per world region • Mail server address, e-mail changes, • back bouncing server address, etc.

  5. Type of capacity building activity Majority (58 %) education and training with or without institution building (35%) and /or infrastructure development (34%) -> Confirms First initial survey results

  6. CB activities – geographic target areas * 31 % of activities have global outlook A relatively stronger CB focus on Africa, Europe and Asia and survey response from those regions. *Note: Large US orgs. (e.g. NOAA, USGS) included in first GEO survey

  7. Initiatives vs. Societal Benefit Areas 3 major groupings apparent: EO - Disasters EO - Climate - weather- water (& oceans) EO - Green earth & land cover

  8. Continuity Start / duration Continuity and budget size 60% of actions > 2000 or recent 2/3 activities have long term ambitions Budget (in 1000*USD) CB Activity size relatively equally present

  9. Reported CB gaps and constraints • Under further analysis: • Training materials, manpower, infrastructure, data access, etc. • Merging with reported capacity building initiatives of GEO CB Survey #1.

  10. Initial survey on EO for Health SBA • Low response (15%), but some interesting answers and signals: • Weather/climate data – health relationships • An example: Vector-borne disease monitoring using EO • Link Regional climate outlooks to health • Air & water quality monitoring (using EO) and health effects / interaction • E.g. harmful algae, waterborne diseases, airborne migration.. • Linking Environment & health databases using ICT and GEO data infrastructures • Water, air and soil pollution – epidemiology • More “in situ” health data needed on for ‘calibration – validation’ cycle of EO monitoring schemes
