Integrated Capacity BuildingObjective: To show the applicability of available

data/information/models/algorithms/systems at AWCI demonstration basins in order to overcome water issues

Modules from resource organizations:• Data Integration System, quality control (CEOP)• Global flood alert system, hazard mapping (ICHARM) • Satellite Data, Mini-projects, Sentinel Asia (JAXA)• Flood hazard mapping, emergency manage.(MRC)• Floods inundation modeling, rainfall downscaling (UNU)• Radar rainfall, real-time forecast (Senjong University)• Flood simulation, dam operation (University of Tokyo )

15-Year History of JAXA’s Capacity Building Activities in cooperation with GIC-AIT

1. For last 15 years starting from April 1995, JAXA has been entrusting a responsibility to the Geo-Informatics Center, Asian Institute of Technology (GIC-AIT) to carry out various training programs mainly focusing on RS and GIS development of the Asia-Pacific nations.

Number of Trainees (JFY1995 ～ 2008) :

More than 1200 from 27 countries2. The contents of the training programs have

sometimes changed by the needs of the times, and now we concentrate on the Mini-Projects which is a problem-solving type of training.

JFY2008 Mini-Project Selection-Results

1. During April and June 2008, JAXA and GIC-AIT received 33 proposals from 62 organizations of 14 Asian countries through their websites. (Case of JFY2007: 28 proposals from 49 organizations of 13 Asian countries.)

２．In August 2008, JAXA finally selected 11 proposals as its 2008 Mini-Projects based on technical evaluation made by GIC-AIT.

3. The first stage of the JFY2008 Mini-Projects successfully completed at GIC-AIT

(3 weeks from September 22 to Oct.10.)
