@kemucie a remote sensing expert @icpac_igad presenting on #EO data availability, sustainability & usability. Availability does not translate to uptake or usage, to increase uptake, the #data needs to be user-friendly, #training needs to be conducted & #awareness done.

[gmes-icpac @ICPAC_GMES]

@icpac_igad & @RCMRD_ are jointly holding the 1st regional workshop of phase II of the #GMES & Africa project. The two consortia are engaging partners & stakeholders on their needs on #EO data & developed services so as to enhance & harmonize activities of common interest

#EO for a better #EastAfrica

[gmes-icpac @ICPAC_GMES]

Did you know if easily accessible #EO data provides timely information on #crop health, weather & soil conditions? Putting such actionable information in the hands of #farmers can lead to increased #food production for the benefit of entire #communities.

[gmes-icpac @ICPAC_GMES]

@GMESAfrica through @icpac_igad officially kicks off 2nd phase of the project at a workshop in Kampala, Uganda today. The goal is to raise #awareness of the project activities at national & regional level, interact with partners & users of the G&A products and services.

#Eo for sustainable #development

[gmes-icpac @ICPAC_GMES]

#EO provides timely & important information about the earth’s atmosphere, landmasses, and oceans. This makes it possible to detect #climate risks & #hazards allowing decision-makers to develop strategies to build #resilience.

There is need to minimise the risk of extreme #wildfires by being better prepared. Investing in fire risk reduction and collaboration with local #communities will go a long way.

[gmes-icpac @ICPAC_GMES]

A new report by @UNEP & @GRIDArendal, finds that #climate change and land-use change are making #wildfires worse. Restoration of #ecosystems is an important avenue to #mitigate the risk of wildfires.
