1 START-GOFC update Tbilisi 14-16, Sept 2017 Cheikh Mbow

2 START’s Role in GOFC-GOLD
Cooperative agreement with NASA - START for GOFC-GOLD capacity building since 1997 START contributes to the overall GOFC-GOLD effort to improve developing country Access to existing data, Increase scientists’ capacity to utilize and produce information Regional and international networks of scientists

3 Training on the use of historical archives, global products
START’s role Training on the use of historical archives, global products Develop capacity building activities on the use of the tools and methods for application of EO on NRM: e.g. biomass assessment, LUC and Fire products, etc. Bringing regional expertise to address geographically differentiate EO needs

4 START-GOFC Strategy (Specifics on CB)
REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS Regional: GISTDA, WASCAL Regional Networks GOFC networks GOFC expert groups (LULC, FIRE) May be new thematic areas Source of Funding (NASA)>>+ START Capacity Building Thematic areas Data “producer” Science “users” APPLICATIONS

5 Capacity Building Modalities
NASA; NOAA; UMD; Universities in host countries. GOFC/Non-GOFC Science meetings Partners: MD More south-south Partners: EROS, BU Data Initiative, Advanced Institutes on data and analysis Partnership Enhancem-ent Awards (visiting scientists) RN-Regional Network Workshops Support for Scientists (RNs) to attend Intl. Conferences

6 START support for RN and GOFC Meetings in 2016
GFOI R&D and GOFC-GOLD Land Cover Science Meeting (Hague, Netherlands, 31 Oct – 4 November 2016) SCERIN-4 on LCLUC challenges (Slovakia July 19-22, 2016 ) International Meeting on Land Use and Emissions (Oct , Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) REDD+ Monitoring, and Measurement, Reporting and Verification workshop (19-23 September 2016, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) GOFC GOLD Fire IT Implementation Team and JRC, European Commission Meeting (November 15-17, 2016, Santiago, Chile) REDD+ Monitoring, and Measurement, Reporting and Verification workshop (February , Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire) Miombo Woodlands - Restoration To Sustain Socio-Ecological And Socio Economic Relationships (July , Maputo, Mozambique)

7 START support for RN and GOFC Meetings in 2016
SCERIN 5 – Land cover changes and natural hazards - integrated watershed and forest management for environmental, economic and political stability: Pecs, Hungary (20-23 June 2017) SARI International Operational Mapping/Monitoring of Agricultural Crops in South/Southeast Asian Countries – Research Needs and Priorities (Chennai, India, May ) Regional Science Meeting in South/Southeast Asia Chiang Mai, Thailand (July 17‐ ) Caucuses Regional Network kick off (September ) 2017 GOFC-GOLD Regional Networks Summit (September ) RedLATIFF: Burned Area Estimation in Latin America using a Collaborative Virtual Environment (Mexico city, August ) WARN/WASCAL/START (possibly SERVIR-Niger) event (Nov )

8 Data Initiative - Advanced Training in Earth Observations
Activities: First training outside USA: October , 2016 with GISTDA, in Sriracha, Thailand 10 countries; 30 fellows Engage with Department of Earth and Environment, Boston University (Prof. Pontus Olofsson) Regional expertise: Prof. Le Van Trung (Vietnam University Institute of Technology) and 3 additional trainers from GISTDA Outcomes Continuous use of EO data Inform the community about new products and new application Move to higher level products and address local environmental challenges Engage regional expertise by transferring the data initiatives in the region.

9 Partnership Enhancement Awards
Activities Visiting Scientist Award Washington DC July 22-29, 2016 (University of Maryland and the International START Secretariat ) 3 from Vietnam and Thailand: helped prepared the data initiative training and subsequent activities in Asia. Outcomes Agreement on future activities and engagement of regional partners 2 Regional Activities in Asia (HCM City and Sriracha) South-South Collaboration within GOFC to create more knowledge exchange amid networks 2016 Data Initiative: 10 countries; 30 fellows, a significant increase from past trainings in the US (average 6-8 fellows.

10 Cross-program collaboration
START has Supported other activities 12th International Workshop on Greenhouse Gas Measurements from Space (IWGGMS-12), which took place in Kyoto University, Japan, during 7-9 June 2016 Building Sustained Capacity to Use Earth Observations to Enhance Environmental Management Decisions, AGU meeting; San Francisco, CA (December 12, 2016) Visits to ESA in June 2017th : Explore new Collaboration with other spatial agencies

11 Outcomes of the regional workshops
Develop critical mass: About 400 direct participations (387p in 2016) Trigger engagement: Engage with 20 organizations including: Universities, International Organizations, national institutions and All regional networks Connect with regional stakeholders: need more local stakeholders, users of data and EO information (e.g. WASCAL, Vital Signs, Agrhymet) Mapping with GOFC strategic objectives Forest and Land Observations, Carbon dynamics and management, Biodiversity and ES Climate Impacts (NDCs), land use based GHG Long term Sustainability issues

12 Food for thoughts New opportunities for cross-network knowledge exchange Joint Calendar on EO & Capacity development Reinvigorate existing RNs Annual activity plan and resource mobilization Connect GOFC-GOLD local policy agendas such as SDGs, NDCs Local data and information from EO
