Response to GEOSS Strategic Target: Build the capacity of individuals, institutions and infrastructures to benefit from and contribute to GEOSS, particularly in developing countries.
Expected Achievements by 2015 • Establish regional capacity-building networks: Organize and reinforce
international networks (incl. training opportunity networks) for the use and provision of Earth observations. Improve coordination of these networks through the GEO Portal and existing initiatives.
• Create conditions for expanding GEO capacity building activities and improving their effectiveness across Societal Benefit Areas.
• Develop qualitative and quantitative Performance Indicators for measuring the efficacy of institutional and individual capacity building programs
• Strengthen regional and national capabilities to employ geographic information systems and remote sensing for environmental monitoring and decision-making

Issues and Gaps
• Efficiency in using existing resources through coordination • Provision of information in the Task Component Sheets on
capacity building activities• Engagement with SBAs

Ideas for Accelerating Work Plan Implementation
• Commitment by all in Task Teams to actively participate and provide information timeously
• Terminology and role clarification (Task, Component, Priority Activitions, Leads, Contributors)
– All inclusive nature of GEO maybe there is room for an ‘observer’ role
• The process of collating information from Task Leads/Contributors can be improved to minimize effort in translating it to the task sheet – progress report template
• Consensus on level of detail to be provided in the task sheet (task team level)
• More frequent progress reporting to enable adequate coordination
