Task Number Harmonise, develop & implement capacity building Performance Indicators

CB-07-01c Harmonise efforts by Tasks, in particular those related with GEOSS performance indicators, in order to develop reliable and widely accepted qualitative and quantitative metrics for measuring the efficacy of Earth observation capacity building programs and encourage their use. Develop metrics to measure the implementation of GEO capacity building strategy.

Area

Capacity Building

Relevant Committee

CBC

Description of the Work to be Performed1. Develop indicators to measure the implementation of GEO capacity building strategy and the

achievement of its objectives.

2. 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.

3. Compile and develop methodologies standardizing the collection of data for these indicators.

4. Encourage the GEO community in developing these indicators and build on existing capacity building indicator frameworks used by international organisations.

5. Monitor and assess Task CB-07-01c implementation.

Output & Deliverables1. Standardized methodologies

2. GEO Capacity building indicators

activityactivity

Cooperation partners fulfill their mandated tasks

impactimpact resilience of people / infrastructure of areas at risk is improved

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

CB is an integral part of GEOSS cooperation activities

outcomeoutcome

CB of SBA cooperation projects is based on (working along) CB-07 guidelines

Cooperation partners are strengthened acc. to plan / needs

Activity: Training on meteorological & satellite data interpretation

Outcome

Training rendered acc. to plan

5 staff members of XY trained by GEOSS Partner STW in Kuala Lumpur (March 2008)

training achievement documented by GEOSS SOP self assesmenst

Use Meteo / satellite data used for identifying areas at risk for Tsunami

Tsunami risk areas identified

Output

Areas at risk for Tsunami integrated into regional development strategy

Tsunami risk areas plan revised

Impact Population‘s vulnerability from Tsunami is reduced

Less than 30% of people are exposed to Tsunami risk
