Report on the training courses under the GISCAMP Project

Abstract

Capability building in the use of geographic information systems (GIS) is one of the major objectives of the GISCAMP Project. This was achieved through training of NRO project staff and from other government agencies in Region I. Training was conducted in two phases. The first phase (Task 110) was conducted during the early stage of project implementation, mainly to training NRO project staff both in the operation of the GIS software called SPANS and applying GIS in resource allocation and management. Training was conducted on a sustained basis throughout the first year of implementation. The second phase (Task 120) was similar to the first phase but the schedule was compressed into one week. This report contains the summary of the two phase training courses conducted by the project.
