Europe’s relations with the wider world
• The EU provides 55% of the € 70 billion of Official Development Assistance*
• EU aid will be increased by € 20 billion / yr by 2010, half of which is destined for Africa**
• EC-managed programmes in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific countries is c.a. € 3 billion / yr***
(*OECD)(**COM (2005) 489)(***EU Donor Atlas, 2004)
Information for EU Development-Aid policy
• Water, forests, agricultural and grazing land have high economic and social value
• Stable food production is a key foundation of social stability and economic growth
• Natural resource use/availability are among armed conflict drivers
• Environmental mainstreaming in EU aid projects is now a “legal” obligation
e.g. Information for land – tenure policy formulation
• Land cover must be measured,
• land availability & suitability calculated,
• trends and history of change established.
Sample strategy
• Tessellation grid• Stratification
White/ UNESCO vegetation map of Africa
• Sampling rate of 1% in each of the strata.
Measuring change
• Land tenure issues; land cover & use; land availability
Côte d’Ivoire 1974
Côte d’Ivoire 2000
Measuring change
• Land tenure issues; land cover & use; land availability
Sudan 1975Sudan 2000
Measuring change
• Land tenure issues; land cover & use; land availability
Angola 1975Angola 2000
Cover change
• 50,000 km2 of natural vegetation converted to agriculture every year since the 1970s…50% increase
• But population has doubled

Series1
Linear (Series1)
Systematic sampling strategy (Global + National)
Gaps in sampling frame (1990 – 2000)
Deforestation rates / site (1990 – 2000)
Goals for 2011
• User perspectives from operational policy cycle – product generation, timing, and product delivery issues– environmental impact assessments– project planning and implementation– post project audits
• Project deliverables– Data merging (HR/MR)– Deforestation rates (pan tropical)– Land cover change rates (national)
