GEO Capacity Building survey instrument progress (2006 - 2007)

A comprehensive report on the progress of the capacity building survey instrument from 2006 to 2007, aiming to gather information from a wider audience in the EO sector. It includes survey questions on executing institutions, activity types, geographic targets, and societal benefit areas. The report highlights gaps, developments, and responses from different world regions.

  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
