Coordination with Committees - ADC
– CB and the GEO Portal: Accepted ADC proposal to establish a joint task team (Alan Edwards, Gordon Bridge, Hilcea Ferreira, Imraan Saloojee)
• First OB – review existing requirements drafted by CBC
• Second OB – assess impact– Prioritization of requirements– Feasibility of the current architecture– phasing of requirements– evaluate impact on existing Tasks (and update the GEO wp
if necessary)
• Third OB – start implementation (through existing or new task)
– Best Practices Wiki for capturing “Good CB practice”• Hilcea Santos Ferreira • Chris Mannaerts
– Possible Joint Session in Boulder
Coordination with Committees - UIC• US 06 01
– Linkage with determining CB needs (CB0701b)– UNECA contribute to user requirements in Africa
• Potential UIC “call for participation”– Identification of projects provides a linkage with
donor engagement task• Develop CB requirements from IGOS Theme Reports• COP’s as a vehicle to determine CB needs• Joint Session in Boulder – would require planning
between co chairs
GCI and CB
• IOC Task Force and CBC: Hilcea Santos Ferreira,Gordon Bridge, Alan Edwards
• CBC members identifying test cases in each GEO region to provide specific user feedback on portal “usability” e.g. Kenyan Wildlife Services
Work Plan Progress
• Task progressing well– Most will continue into next work plan– Excellent Progress made with Chlorogin (POGO, EC0607) ,
Building National Capacity (UNEP, CB0701d), Open Source (CB0701e)
– Recurring theme: resources for task implementation• Resource Mobilisation
– Identification of showcase projects from current tasks– Possible Meetings with Resource Providers
• Task Sheets– Addition of “capacity building” info Box
2009 – 2011 Workplan:CB Overarching themes/Tasks (OAT)
• Resource mobilization
• Promoting education, training and certification (Build Individual Capacity to use EO)
• Strengthening and building networks (Build Institutional Capacity to use EO)
• Advancing Earth Observation through infrastructure development (Build Earth Observation capacity through technology transfer)
• Outreach and institutional reinforcement (Continuous Needs/Gap Assessment)
OAT and the CB Strategy
• The objectives outlined in the Capacity Building strategy, therefore, need to be the driver of the 2009-2011 Work Plan Capacity Building activities
• The 2009-2011 Work Plan should include, realign and possibly redefine priority actions identified in the strategy
• The 2009-2011 Work Plan should address the I3 of Capacity Building namely Infrastructure, Institutional and Individual
• The current Work Plan largely focuses on developing the cross-cutting dimension of capacity building; a bigger focus is required in the 2009-2011 Work Plan, through sub-tasks, on developing societal-benefit-area specific capacity building activities

Recommendations to C4 and Excom
• Promote the identification of CB contact points in GEO Caucuses
• Proposal to reduce number of committee meetings to 2– Implications for task sheet updates
