TIGER II TIGER I TIGER – Current & Planned Activities Development of African Capacity in Water Management Scientific Component Transition to Operations Component Development and Demonstration Component TCBF extension TIGER fellowships TIGER service development TIGER-NET TIGER Capacity Building Facility II TIGER Capacity Building Facility I Development Line of TIGER

TIGER is a contribution to the GEOSS TCBF (lead by ITC) created in 2006 offering: –Dedicated courses (in EU and in Africa) & E-learning; –Tailored technical support and research stages; Water Research Component – Support to 50 & 20 & 10 selected research projects in Africa –Regional Centres: AGHRYMET (Niger), RCMRD (Kenya), WRC (SA), OSS (TU); –Free EO data, free training material TIGER Capacity Building Facility (TCBF): Developing Knowledge and Scientific Capacity Key partners in TIGER: CEOS (with a strong support from the CSA), the African Ministerial Council on Water, the African Development Bank, the African Union Commission and the UN-Africa Water Group (UNESCO, UN- ECA), DWAF, R. of South Africa, GEOSS, World Bank, Cap-Net.

Mid-Term Symposium: Cross-Border Education for Global Geo- Information TCBF approach Paradigm change was needed: Capacity Building  Building on Capacity (Executive Seminar on Earth Observation for Improving Water Management in Africa, 2008: seminar.pdf) seminar.pdf There is an existing capacity in Africa; good starting point – Univerisities, regional centres, etc. – TIGER Capacity Building Facility Phase I – Other efforts (DevCoCast, GMES&Africa, etc.)

TCBF - Capacity Building of People

TIGER CBF activities Support of research projects Support to Regional Offices Fellowship programme (Alcantara) Support of Projects in research and publications: – AARSE conferences, – Special issue of Remote Sensing ‘Open’ TIGER Workshop Training Kit Cooperation with other networks and donors (World Bank, CapNet) Training courses on EO topics: – Basics of EO, – Water quality – Radar applications – Small reservoirs and water body mapping, etc.

Participants of CB actions 7

Countries Involved: Burkina Faso Chad DRC Egypt Ghana Kenya Madagascar Mali Morocco Namibia Republic of Congo Senegal South Africa Zambia TIGER Phase II - Research Component: 20 Research Projects Scientific Results presented in two special TIGER sessions The El Jadida Declaration – outcome of the AARSE2012 conference (2 nd November 2012) Recognising the importance and success of continued long term collaboration between European Space Agency and African scientists within the TIGER initiative on Earth Observation techniques related to water resources management; To support the dedicated activities in the TIGER Capacity Building Facility and within the new TIGER-NET project as essential component to prepare the African water resources expert for the exploitation of African National satellites and the upcoming SENTINEL satellite fleet of the European Space Agency
