8 Modes of CB Pilot Project Mode-1: Country based PP (Roving seminar) a local catchment + number of training modules within a country ex. Flood forecasting training seminar in Indonesia Mode-2: Training module based PP Modules in intensive workshop ex. Training modules at UNU, AIT Training Modules Mode-1 Country-A Country-B Mode-3: Country data + traning module based PP one country data+multiple country participation ex. IWRM Pilot in Huong river, Vietnam Mode-2 Multiple country participation Mode-3 8

9 Integrated Capacity Building Objective: To show the applicability of available data/information/models/algorithms/systems at AWCI demonstration basins in order to overcome water issues Modules from resource organizations: Data Integration System, quality control (CEOP) Global flood alert system, hazard mapping (ICHARM) Satellite Data, Mini-projects, Sentinel Asia (JAXA) Flood hazard mapping, emergency manage.(mrc) Floods inundation modeling, rainfall downscaling (UNU) Radar rainfall, real-time forecast (Senjong University) Flood simulation, dam operation (University of Tokyo ) 9

12 . 12 GIC AIT 15-Year History of JAXA s Capacity Building Activities in cooperation with GIC-AIT 1. For last 15 years starting from April 1995, JAXA has been entrusting a responsibility to the Geo- Informatics Center, Asian Institute of Technology (GIC-AIT) to carry out various training programs mainly focusing on RS and GIS development of the Asia-Pacific nations. Number of Trainees (JFY1995 ~ 2008) : More than 1200 from 27 countries 2. The contents of the training programs have sometimes changed by the needs of the times, and now we concentrate on the Mini-Projects which is a problem-solving type of training. 12

14 JFY2008 Mini-Project Selection-Results 1. During April and June 2008, JAXA and GIC-AIT received 33 proposals from 62 organizations of 14 Asian countries through their websites. (Case of JFY2007: 28 proposals from 49 organizations of 13 Asian countries.) 2.In August 2008, JAXA finally selected 11 proposals as its 2008 Mini-Projects based on technical evaluation made by GIC-AIT. 3. The first stage of the JFY2008 Mini-Projects successfully completed at GIC-AIT (3 weeks from September 22 to Oct.10.) 14 14
