Overview

The project “Strengthening capacities in the use of geospatial information for improved resilience in Asia-Pacific and Africa” intends to develop the capacities of eight national governments to use geospatial information better to improve disaster risk management and +N25 natural resource management. Six of eight project countries, Bangladesh, Lao PDR, Uganda, and the Pacific Island Countries of Fiji, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu, are exposed to natural hazards, including hydrometeorological (storms, floods) and geophysical (earthquakes). Floods associated with summer monsoons and tropical cyclones are an annual recurrence, which people in these countries have traditionally adopted. However, the increase in exposure driven by population and economic growth, compounded by climate change, threatens people and national economies. Moreover, these countries are least developed countries (LDC) and small island developing States (SIDS). A significant proportion of their economies depend on climatesensitive sectors, such as agriculture, fisheries, and tourism. Recently, they have been affected by COVID-19, increasing poverty risk and consequently vulnerability to disasters. In two of the project countries, Bhutan and Nigeria, the project’s beneficiary national governments intend to develop capacities for generating and disseminating spatial information on land use and environmental change to enhance the sustainable use of natural resources. The project intends to achieve different outcomes for each of the eight target countries, being these: • Use of Earth Observation and Geospatial Technologies for Sustainable Natural Resource Management in Bhutan. • Improvement of geospatial capacities for Environmental Remediation and Preservation in Nigeria. • Improvement of climate change resilience and sustainable development in the Pacific Islands. • Geospatial capacity development for enhanced disaster risk management in Uganda, Lao, PDR, and Bangladesh. While the training and capacity development and knowledge platform project components will be implemented in all project countries, the climate finance component (deployment of climate+N25 finance advisors) will only be applicable to the Pacific Islands project countries. Climate finance advisors were first introduced in the Pacific countries by the CommonSensing project (implemented between 2017 and 2022)
