Terms of Reference of the Advisory Board and the Users Board

Definition of the terms and conditions ruling the participation of Advisors in the Advisory Board and users involved in the Users Board. Provisions on the responsabilities and required level of involvement, financial support for travel and alocation will be reflected in the ToR

AfriCultuReS Use Cases Description

This document will describe the Use Cases already introduced in D13 codesigned and agreed with the Users in the eight African countries participating in AfriCultuReS as well as the description definition of additional use cases aimed at meeting the project objectives Special emphasis is given to food security aspects This deliverable will support communication and dissemination activities capacity development demonstration of the AfriCultuReS services and collection of users appraisal

Strategy for capacity building across stakeholders groups

The document will report the AfriCultuReS strategy for capacity building towards1Build capacity skills and appetite to work with AfriCultuReS data and findings in local and national government policy2Build capacity and skills in civil society organisations to lobby for farmers interests using AfriCultuReS data3Build capacity and skills in the local European international media to engage AfriCultuReS and similar research groups in the mainstream and social mediaDifferent target groups will require different approaches to capacity building the report will tackle these particularities

Capacity building across stakeholders groups, incl.: Web Pages within the project website, blogs, policy briefs and stakeholder workshops

Report on the capacity building across stakeholders and users groups Capacity Building in Government Capacity Building in Civil Society Organisations including farmers associationsThe deliverable will include Web Pages within the project website blogs policy briefs and stakeholder workshops reportA draft version del ID D55d will be delivered due M54 for early assessment

Web pages within the project website, blogs, press releases, videos and briefings aimed at mainstream and social media journalists.

This dedicated document on capacity building will report the capacity building activities conducted in Mainstream and Social Media The goal will be to go beyond the normal press releases and work with these communicators to build understanding of the project and its goals and thus to enrol an additional cadre of people who can reach additional audiences for this project through their work Activities conducted towards this end will be reported including web pages within the project website blogs press releases videos and briefingsA draft version del ID D56d will be delivered due M54 for early assessment

Data procurement plan

The report will detail remote sensing and other data availability focusing on panAfrican products as well as others for providing detailed information at national scales It will also detail the data to be exploited not only with the purpose of generating the AfriCultuReS products but for validation purposes eg very high resolution imagery for validation purposes

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (1)

Marketing toolkit on EO for agricultural monitoring

The marketing toolkit gives a short introduction into the potential of EO applications for agricultural monitoring it will comprise the following elements PowerPoint presentations Success stories on agricultural monitoring and food security Web based information Multimedia output Printed material A brokerage facility

Demonstrators, pilots, prototypes (1)

Development and Integration of AfriCultuReS Service Platform Components
