Description of the Work to be Performed

1. Task Sheet • Description of the Work to be Performed • Develop indicators to measure the implementation of GEO capacity building strategy and the achievement of its objectives. • Compile & develop indicators that could be adopted/already adopted by GEO members and participating organisations to provide information on the impact and outcome of Earth observation capacity building programmes. • Compile and develop methodologies standardizing the collection of data for these indicators. • Encourage the GEO community in developing these indicators and build on existing capacity building indicator frameworks used by international organisations. • Monitor and assess Task CB-07-01c implementation. • Output & Deliverables • Standardized methodologies • GEO Capacity building indicators

2. Biodiversity Commonalities Agriculture Disasters Ecosystems Capacity Development Health Weather Energy Water Climate Societal Benefits of GEOSS In the light of GEOSS overarching target „Increase Partner‘s Capabilities“ in the identified Social Benefit Areas, capacity development is a cross-cutting tasks

3. Clients of GEOSS capacity development Partner organizations in developing countries Capacity Development Political decision makers International science community Civil society (i.e. population at risk)

4. GEOSS cooperation serving the needs of science and technology GEOSS knowledge, experience competence, infrastructure, know how technical capacity, financial means, internat. networks, communication introduction of established development options, adaptation, implementation, - source for new topics, new questions GEOSS SBA cooperation projects Partner

5. Capacity Development GEOSS component Partner component advisory services ownership education participation provision of equipment culture of plan./monit./eval. transfer of technology project implementation institutional development intern. cooperation publications mode of delivery

6. Capacity Development Indicators reliable, faithful, representative, sensibel measurable operational economic NOT carry out training 5 seminars on „Geochemical Sampling“ carried out with organization XY in 12/2008

7. Capacity Development Indicators Why For whom to make project activities measurable project managers to make projects concepts comparable project partners to make projects achievements comparable SBA / GEOSS supervision to harmonize CB within GEOSS (synergy)

8. EXAMPLE: Chain of impact for CB -07 – 01c Task impact resilience of people / infrastructure of areas at risk is improved outcome Cooperation partners fulfill their mandated tasks Cooperation partners are strengthened acc. to plan / needs use CB of SBA cooperation projects is based on (working along) CB-07 guidelines output CB is an integral part of GEOSS cooperation activities activity monitor & evaluate CB achievements of SBA cooperation advise & assist SBA in defining CB concept working out guidelines for CB activities establish CB-07 working group

9. EXAMPLE: Chain of impact for SBA project impact resilience of people / infrastructure of areas at risk is improved outcome national network on earthquake monitoring is sustainably functioning national network contributes to global network on earthquake monitoring use monitoring on earthquake contributes to regional early warning output local network is functioning activity installation of local network on earthquake monitoring software/hardware for network system delivered & installed staff trained to monitor earthquakes with network system allocation of budget for monitorig network

10. Indicators for Project Management Project Indicator Impact Population‘s vulnerability from Tsunami is reduced Less than 30% of people are exposed to Tsunami risk Outcome Areas at risk for Tsunami integrated into regional development strategy Tsunami risk areas plan revised Use Meteo / satellite data used for identifying areas at risk for Tsunami Tsunami risk areas identified Output Training rendered acc. to plan training achievement documented by GEOSS SOP self assesmenst Activity: Training on meteorological & satellite data interpretation 5 staff members of XY trained by GEOSS Partner STW in Kuala Lumpur (March 2008)

11. Cocept Phase II Evaluation Concept Phase I Implementation Where CD Task Force sets in ??? Input by CD Task Force Appraisal Input by CD Task Force

12. Monitor CD activities on entire GEOSS cooperation Assist GEOSS activities in implementing CD indicators Assess/evaluate CB achievements on entire GEOSS cooperation Role of CD Task Force is: Work out capacity development framework / guidelines Work out pilot case CB concept for selected projects (3 - 4) Role of CD Task Force is not: To carry out CB To control SBA activities

EN – 07 - 04 CB 07-01c (pipeline) CB – 07 – 01c will work out a GEOSS-wide baseline survey as a means 1) to harmonize / standardize CB activities 2) to have a record on how many CB activities were carried out in how many countries, addressing which amount of different SBA issues and 3) achieving what kind of impact.
