A five-day Geospatial Information Management Workshop is currently taking place at NSET, starting from October 22, 2024. A total of 15 participants, including geologists, geomatics engineers, geographers, and other experts working in the field of disaster management in Nepal, are attending the workshop.
The workshop is jointly organized by Map Action and NSET with the support of USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA). The main objectives of the workshop are to enhance participants' data management skills for more effective emergency preparedness and response, improve the capacity to produce and use 3W maps for better coordination during emergencies, and showcase organizational activities. Additionally, it aims to provide expert support on specific challenges related to data management, flood and 3W mapping, and enable access to accurate secondary data to create flood extent maps for guiding emergency responses.
The workshop focuses on key areas such as Geospatial Data Management, Flood Mapping, 3W Mapping, and a Geospatial Information Management Troubleshooting Clinic.
The five-day training is set to conclude on October 26, 2024.
