  4. 3. Expected milestones for 2008:Implementation of the Seville Roadmap A. Criteria for identifying pilot projects: DONE • To achieve its goal, project needs improved access to EO (EO as a component in a value chain) • Should impact one or more of nine SBA in a quantitative and highly visible manner. • Project will demonstrate the value of GEOSS • Project supports the MDGs or sustainable development requirements of beneficiaries • Project can demonstrate concrete results within three years • Project could appeal to multiple resource providers & partners • Requested funding can be quantified • Project implemented by one or more GEO Member or Participating Organization • Must have an outreach program embedded in the project • Project must be sustainable and replicable CB-07-01a Task Report

  5. 3. Expected milestones for 2008:Implementation of the Seville Roadmap B. Identify pilot projects for donor consideration: ON GOING • Task participants and the GEO Secretariat to review projects presented at Seville Symposium in light of the above criteria • CBC Co-chairs and the GEO Secretariat to initiate a discussion with the UIC. • Task participants to develop a basic scheme on how to present a project to a donor (template project). • CBC Co-chairs and the GEO Secretariat to develop an expression of interest to be circulated to GEO • GEO community to present projects in accordance with criteria and templates circulated. • In the meantime: select two or three pilot projects to approach donors. CB-07-01a Task Report

  6. 3. Expected milestones for 2008:Implementation of the Seville Roadmap • C. Identify potential resource providers and their attributes: ON GOING • CBC Co-chairs and Task participants to review, amend and increase the resource provider registry developed for Seville symposium • Registry to categorize resource providers according to interests and SBA’s • In the long term resource providers will be associated with identified projects • D. Produce communication and marketing materials that could be adapted as needed: ON GOING • GEO Secretariat to develop donor and project specific outreach and marketing material. • E. Co-chairs to Identify Champions: NOT YET STARTED CB-07-01a Task Report

  7. Extent of Participation/Recommendations for additional participants “The implementation of the Seville Work Plan belongs to GEO members, the CBC and other Committees and the Secretariat. The roles will be defined in the Work Plan, although coordination from the Task Team will still be needed”. • Need of contributors from different SBA and regions. • No specific profile is needed, everyone is able to contribute. • Experience in mobilizing resources or to have contacts with donor community is desirable. • GEO National Groups could add value to CBC Member contribution. CB-07-01a Task Report

  8. Coordination points with other GEO Work Plan tasks • CB 07-01c: elaboration of the Performance indicators for GEO’s resource mobilization. • UIC: to connect with the final beneficiaries of the resource-mobilization. • All Committees & Task Teams: •  Needed a better integrating resource mobilization and CB concerns into their work. •  Support from the mobilizing resources task team to complete their tasks and projects. CB-07-01a Task Report

  9. Potential risks that may impede completion of task • Wrong approach to resource providers: understand the donor! • Lack of commitment on its implementation: deadlines needed! • Small number of contributors: • Inadequate user/donor network • SBA and regional gaps • Incomplete information • Narrow overview of the task • Information not shared. • Outcomes and actions not reviewed and updated. CB-07-01a Task Report

  10. 7. Potential Contributions to the CB portal /GEO Portal - Expected products • Marketing and communication kits. • Inventory of donors relevant to GEOSS. • Inventory of the resource-mobilization capacities and contacts of GEO Members. • Inventory of training opportunities for funding proposals. • Inventory of funding sources and tools. • “The GEO Web portal should provide a mechanism for dissemination of information to foster donor engagement. Specifically, it should encourage donors towards well established institutional development needs and priorities in the Earth observation community”. CB-07-01a Task Report

  11. 8. Expected date of completion of task • Resource mobilization should be a permanent task. • Some outcomes could be delivered before GEO-V, although a constant review & update of them will be needed (list of donors, new projects, new training opportunities, etc). • 9. Expectations of task lead from CBC • Shared ownership of task in CBC. • Increase the number/commitment of task contributors. • Assist task members when required (contact resource providers, share information, etc). • Link CBC with national GEO structures & organizations. CB-07-01a Task Report

  12. EU Commission: 2009 Call for Proposals - Environment Theme (FP7). "Action in the domain of EO to support capacity building in GEO“: establishing a Capacity Building advisory capability in support of Earth Observation (EO) activities.
