1. Thematic silos2. Ad hoc processes3. Manual workflows4. Manual collation of results
• Decision maker overwhelmed with uncoordinated information
• Reporting is burdensome, slow and expensive process
The Requirement/Briefing1. An indicator‐based environmental reporting tool
2. To provide a reporting capability for organisations with minimal resources (web tool)
3. To be compelling – by delivering business benefit – i.e. improving organisational efficiency (through automation and utilising shared knowledge/effort)
4. To be a durable solution (capable of accommodating new and evolving indicators)
5. To be relevant at all scales of reporting (Local to Global)
6. To be relevant around the world (not tied to any geography‐specific indicators)
7. To enable mandated (inter‐organizational) reporting (Local ˃National ˃ Regional/Global)
8. To support tactical (local issue) management/reporting (Executive dashboard)
9. To support integrated/holistic reporting (i.e. multiple indicators = Env+Eco+Scoio data sources)
10. To consume and (optionally) contribute to report and indicators resource/knowledgebase
11. To implement (per organisational policies) strict access and sharing controls on data and output

• The NRT supports any indicator that can be expressed as a function
• Function may be simple or complex(algebraic, scripts, spatial analyses etc.)
• Function involves one or more data parameters
• Parameters have documented specifications
Data collection and recording standards
• Parameters may come from one or more sourcesLocal or remote
• Data sources may be diverse in form (file, d/b, web services)
• Indicators selected from a shared knowledgebase
• Indicators installed in a specific NRT by a local power-user
Indicator value = , , …

Summary: The NRT …1. Supports any indicator
(NRT is globally applicable, enduring, relevant at all levels of Govt.)
2. Reduces effort – automates field data to indicator calculation
3. Uses internal data; external data and NRT‐generated reports.
4. Captures Expert Interpretation
5. Provides Executive Dashboard of Indicators
6. Collates Indicator Interpretation Sheets into a Report
7. Allows formal transmittal of reports (optionally with underlying data) between organisations

2014• Develop Internationally applicable/future‐proof
• Configurable by local power users for any indictor
• Deploy v1.0 production ready standalone system in EAD • Prove and validate NRT before exposing it to MOEW
• Deliver Capacity building workshops for key Sub National and National entities for UAE
2015+• 2015
• Enable NRT‐to‐NRT communication• Deploy in UAE Ministry of Environment & Water (MOEW) National level
(UAE) • Train‐the‐trainer capacity building to MOEW – who will lead deployment
in other Emirates• Capacity building workshops for a Regional Entity (CAMRE)
• 2016• Deploy at CAMRE/CEDARE• Train‐the‐trainer capacity building to CAMRE – who will lead deployment

What is the NRT Project?1. Development of an indicator‐based environmental status reporting
information system
2. Institutional capacity building mechanism – Indicator‐based assessment and reporting
3. An AGEDI project in collaboration with UNEP Division of Early Warning and Assessment (DEWA)
Benefits• Reduces monitoring and reporting effort to only those steps that add value.
• Reduces man hours required.
• Reduces reporting turnaround time – provides more timely information
• Enables formal submittal of data‐rich reports to other entities
• Allows report‐mandating organizations to prescribe reporting templates
• Allows report‐mandating organizations to prescribe indicators
• Same system can be used at all levels of Governance (local, national, regional, global)
• Only indictors are different
• The data‐rich reports from lower tiers are inputs to higher tier organizations
• Enables efficient National, Regional, Global and thematic assessments
• Enables aggregation of indicators (e.g. for local to national reporting; national to regional etc)

• Through AGEDI EAD is enabling NRT and thus UNEP Live and thus advancing global environmental stewardship
• The globally deployed NRT will acknowledge EAD/AGEDI’s foundational contributions
AGEDI Mission• Enabling effective data access and availability
• Determine strategies for data access, acquisition and dissemination
• Address specific data, information and knowledge product needs;
• Enabling and facilitating perpetual local, regional and global participation
• Ensuring capability and capacity building of developing countries and emerging economies
• Support 'best‐impact' access and application of data and information for decision making.
• AGEDI projects must be:
• Relevant to EAD
• Relevant and replicable across developing countries and emerging economies – esp. Arab Region
