The Second international Workshop on Crop and Rangeland Monitoring in Eastern Africa
The publication is the scientific report of the second workshop organized in this field in East Africa.
The initial objectives of the workshop were:
- to verify the state of the art and progress made since the first workshop in 2003;
- to facilitate the development of a crop and rangeland monitoring system for the whole of Africa with compatible sub-systems having the potential for homogeneous interpretation and utilization.
In the course of the workshop, these objectives were expanded to encompass:
- a more focussed attention to information for livestock-based communities
- an analysis why the first network had not really taken shape as rapidly as expected
- solidification of the relations between the national services and the EU-JRC activities
- inclusion of partners that had, so far, not been included in the network
- a better focus on a system permitting a more rapid response to warnings of impending critical situations
- the collection of information and opinions that can facilitate the formulation of the way forward
- an assessment of the impact of EU-originated information supply on the real-life situation.
