1830 - 1930 UTC (60') Leveraging Community Expertise in Earth Observation Capacity Needs Assessments: A Design Workshop on New Guidance (Erin Martin - EOTEC DevNet)

Thanks to the 25 people who joined our design session, helping us refine a beta version of EOTEC's EO capacity needs assessment guidance! If you missed it, there's still time to contribute - keep reading!

For background, EOTEC DevNet and partners have developed an online guidance tool that synthesizes global experience on approaches to EO capacity building needs assessments. It outlines five foundational steps of an assessment and curates practical tools, examples, and tips. 

Currently in beta, the guidance is designed as a living document that will evolve with community contributions. This “creative lab” offered a hands-on environment where participants will work together and in small groups to review the guidance, offer feedback, share their own experience, and prototype ideas. 

Here are some useful links from the session:
