Service center training – developing viable services using data from the WaPOR portal

Under the Water-PIP project, MetaMeta and eLeaf, kicked-off one week training session for the three service centers that are aiming to be the lead service providers using open source data, particularly the WaPOR  - FAO Water Productivity Open-access portal.


WaPOR is a publicly accessible near real time database using satellite data that will allow monitoring of agricultural and water productivity. The teams from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya work together to devise operational tools and services that can be used for customer day-to-day operations and decision making.
