The Regional Workshops are mandatory activities that serve as exclusive platforms elevating discussions with partners, stakeholders and users on project impacts at the regional level. They are also designed for engaging policy and decision makers as well as other actors in dialogue and networking.
The workshops will feature technical consultations on strengthening data access and sharing practices, promoting the exchange of views among end-users and EO service providers, whilst facilitating seamless communication between consortia partners on how to use EO in support to sustainable management of water and natural resources, marine and coastal areas. It is expected to reinforce regional exchanges and stimulate cross fertilization of ideas among stakeholders.
The workshops are an opportunity for consortia to relay their stories, and for deepening awareness about what they are doing at project level.

Participants will include the Programme Management Unit at the African Union Commission, consortia, RECs, the private sector, academia, and end-users.
