Implementation of the Training Strategy for the "Monitoring for Environment and Security in Africa" (MESA) programme
The overall objective of the Monitoring for Environment and Security in Africa (MESA) programme was: “to support African decision-makers and planners in designing and implementing national, regional and continental policies and development plans towards sustainable development, thereby advancing the socioeconomic progress and well-being of African populations towards achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).”
The overall purpose of this training contract was to implement the “Strategy for Capacity Development and Training in MESA” by ensuring that MESA stakeholders are sufficiently trained so as to ensure a smooth and effective implementation of the MESA programme. This included increasing the information management, decision-making and planning capacity of African continental, regional and national institutions mandated for environment, climate, food security and related responsibilities by enhancing access to and exploitation of relevant Earth Observation applications in Africa.
