Context and Background

The Challenge: Deforestation, habitat loss, and land degradation threaten East Africa's environment and hinder sustainable development.

The Solution: Earth Observation (EO) technologies offer powerful tools to monitor these critical issues.

The Initiative: Under the African Union Commission's (AUC) GMES & Africa project, led by RCMRD and ICPAC, this training aims to enhance the capacity of East African countries to utilize EO data for effective environmental monitoring.

The Goal: Equip participants with the knowledge and skills to leverage EO technology for monitoring forests, natural habitats, and land degradation.
