SASSCAL, Regional Secretariat Sponsored by The SASSCAL Open Access Data Centre (OADC) – A regional data, information and knowledge hub Jörg HELMSCHROT SASSCAL, Regional Secretariat joerg.helmschrot@sasscal.org Data Initiatives in Africa—Opportunities and Challenges for Research and Sustainable Development 12/13 April 2017, Grenoble, France

Regional Challenges

What is SASSCAL “SASSCAL* is the REGIONAL driver for innovation and knowledge exchange to enhance adaptive land use and sustainable economic development in a highly vulnerable region of Southern Africa under global change conditions.” * SASSCAL is a joint initiative of Angola, Botswana, Germany, Namibia, South Africa and Zambia.

SASSCAL Pillars of Operations

SASSCAL Research Themes SASSCAL manages 88 research projects in 5 research themes generating data, products and services

OADC: Approach

Open Access Data Centre: Functions making data, information and knowledge generated through SASSCAL research freely available for further scientific use and support mutual data exchange with relevant authorities, agencies and organizations; generating, compiling, analysing and processing relevant data on climate, water cycle, soil, biodiversity, ecosystem goods and services, land use-related energy demographic and other socio-economic parameters for user-oriented decision support; providing an platform and infrastructure for collaborating initiatives/programmes (e.g. SPACES, CLIENT, Miombo Network); facilitating, analysing and implementing regional models and modelling results.

OADC: User-oriented Approach

OADC: Regional Sharing Approach National Level Gathering and compilation of existing and newly generated data (e.g. national soil and forest maps) from SASSCAL research and institutional partners Regional Level Data aggregation and management (incl. storage, QC, harmonisation) Data and product integration to generate data, information and knowledge of regional relevance Distribution of regionally integrated data products, tools and services to the end-users in research and decision making

OADC: Workflow Linking national and regional data generation for regional and national clients

OADC: Data Products

OADC: Services I Tools I Outreach Services/Tools/Instruments: SASSCAL IS, WeatherNet, Plant Photo Guide, ObservationNet, BIOTABase, RainApp, Outreach: website, newsletter, fact sheets
