Group2- Revitalising Outreach and
Engagement
1. Extension
Apart from internet access to geo-spatial information and data
there are other methods of engagement with stakeholders
e.g reaching the lowest level user such as the farmer might not be
easy but we can have a layered outreach strategy where we
work with intermediaries such as:
• Public extension
• Private extension
• NGOs
• CBO
To train the farmers and other users on access, processing and
use.
Possible to have offline access through:
• Walking sticks
• Adobe flash
• Transparencies for overlaying

2. Partnerships and Training
We have to tailor data and information to
target different user categories and
hierarchical levels of attention. Partners
will facilitate outscaling and promotion of
any geo-spatial data. Training is critical for
sustainability and ownership of the
technologies and solutions.

3. Different dissemination strategies to address
different beneficiaries. We must target products to
clients.
A. Website promotion
B. Google Earth layering of content
C. Workshops with manual transparent maps for
manual overlaying
D. Interface with extension- public, private NGOs
E. Partnerships and training
F. Awareness campaigns--Media, Radio, TV,
newspaper, DVDs
G. Cell-phones
H. Easy and end-user tools
I. First is a clear end-user survey to establish what
exactly the user needs

4. Write new projects to cover costs of
partnerships, extension and dissemination
5. Seek cost-free collaboration where
synergy is built from our individual
activities
