Regional Exchange: Africa This consultative session opens with a short WGCapD update on key priorities (such as EOTEC) followed by an exchange with participants on a specific case: capacity development in EO-informed flood management, early warning and response. Select participants from the region present briefly on local needs and opportunities as a means to kickstarting discussion of barriers to use, needs assessment approaches and other topics. The aim is to identify and advance practical ideas to shape WGCapD’s evolving work in this area. To foster collaboration we will use Padlet during the session. Contributions are welcome prior to the meeting! [ Presentation ] |
