Digital transformation in action
Cabo Verde One of the first HiH Geospatial Platform virtual training events was organized with the country offices in Cabo Verde and Sao Tome and Principe and national ministries. Participants included FAO personnel involved in the use of the platform, from management to data owners and data engineers, as well as national ministries responsible for food and agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and socioeconomic development. The next steps will include surveying data usage, needs and plans and understanding user levels to propose customized training on data publishing and collaboration.

Latin America and the Caribbean Beginning in 2021, the Geospatial Knowledge, Innovation, and Technology (GeoKIT), an initiative from the FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, has organized yearly training on the use of the HiH Geospatial Platform to improve project impact through better project planning and communications by means of geospatial analysis. Successful technical sessions were organized, aimed at FAO GIS specialists throughout the region, training them in new platform features and the use of back-end tools to enrich the analytical capabilities of the HiH platform by adding new datasets. Scaling up the knowledge shared in 2021, a training event organized in November 2022 reflected the new developments launched on the HiH Geospatial Platform, aimed at keeping capacities and knowledge-sharing up to date with the latest standards. United Republic of Tanzania An HiH Geospatial Platform training event was planned for 2023 in the United Republic of Tanzania, and an HiH entry point for the country was nominated, based on a meeting between FAO and the designated task team members from the Ministry of Agriculture. Focus areas (territories) are Ruvuma for soya bean value chain investment and Manyara for wheat and sunflower value chain investment. A baseline survey is being conducted to better understand these value chains in the identified territories through ground proofing in order to assist in the development of the investment plans.
New training material
To complement the guidelines published in the resources section of the HiH Geospatial Platform website, FAO has started a process to produce more HiH workshop materials, primarily videos. The main goal is to reduce the number of training events held while providing thorough knowledge on HiH to various audiences.
