IMPLEMENTATION OF GEOSS IN BACKGROUND

I knew GEO by internet. I was convinced, that without ICT, Madagascar can not access and use the informations, data and products of GEO and we can not implement the GEOSS workplan. Before 2004, It was very difficult for the malagasy administration to find an internet How Madagascar joined GEO?

1. We increase access and use the EO data for sustainable development, building the infrastructure. What did we do? Infrastructure 2005-2006: Elaborate a National Politic of E- Gouvernance 2006: Develop the Web portal in each Ministerial departments . 2006 - 2007: implement the National Politic of E- Governance in each ministerial department. 2008: Set internet in 22 environmental regional department and the satellite system of monitoring the fire of bush. 2008: All governmental administration have Access in internet now. 2. We enhance Individual capacity building to use the internet and to access the data from satelite system of fire of bush in the 22 Regions in 2008 (the member of the government and the Regional Environment leaders) 3. We have set a National Environmental Informations Network with the UNEP .

Now, We work together with many institutions who works in EO data as the Meteo, BIOMAN (Biodiversity of Madagascar Network (with GBIF) , Ecosystem Forest, Water, Satelite system of monitoring the Fire of Bush

Our Ministry has in first time his Report integrated of the state of Environment of Madagascar 4. We join GEO implementing the GEOSS workplan ™CONSERVATION OF FOREST ™System Satelite of Monitoring of Fire of Bush ™The Agents of our Ministry trained the regional users, how to use the System ™All makers of decision used the informations and rapidly they moved in the village.

Resultat: The area burnt in 2008 is dicreased in 25% of 2007.
