It was an excellent opportunity to meet new delegates from #Madagascar who are keen to work with participants from the region who attended the GBIF #AFRESH_IO workshop. #ISSEDD & #UniversityofTana students.

[VereR-G @Vere_RG]

Just facilitated a training workshop with 27 delegates from 13 SADC countries on water river status monitoring and communication with #GroundTruthKZN & Jim Taylor. Thanks to all involved especially WaterNet & GIZ. Delegates used citizen science tools as part of World Rivers Day!
