Modes of CB Pilot Project Mode-1 •

Mode-1: Country based PP (Roving seminar) a local catchment + number of training modules within a country ex. Flood forecasting training seminar in Indonesia

•

Mode-2: Training module based PP Modules in intensive workshop ex. Training modules at UNU, AIT

•

Mode-3: Country data + traning module based PP one country data+multiple country participation ex. IWRM Pilot in Huong river, Vietnam

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency

15-Year History of JAXA’s Capacity Building Activities in cooperation with GIC-AIT 1. For last 15 years starting from April 1995, JAXA has been entrusting a responsibility to the GeoInformatics Center, Asian Institute of Technology (GIC-AIT) to carry out various training programs mainly focusing on RS and GIS development of the Asia-Pacific nations. Number of Trainees (JFY1995 ～ 2008) :

More than 1200 from 27 countries 2. The contents of the training programs have sometimes changed by the needs of the times, and now we concentrate on the Mini-Projects which is a problem-solving type of training. . 12

JFY2008 Mini-Project Selection-Results 1.

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency

During April and June 2008, JAXA and GIC-AIT received 33 proposals from 62 organizations of 14 Asian countries through their websites. (Case of JFY2007: 28 proposals from 49 organizations of 13 Asian countries.)

２．In August 2008, JAXA finally selected 11 proposals as its 2008 Mini-Projects based on technical evaluation made by GIC-AIT. 3. The first stage of the JFY2008 Mini-Projects successfully completed at GIC-AIT (3 weeks from September 22 to Oct.10.) 14 14
