The Nile River Awareness Kit
About the Nile RAK Project. The ‘Nile River Awareness Kit’ (Nile RAK) project is a collaborative partnership between the Nile Transboundary Environmental Action Project (NTEAP) of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) and a project team led by Hatfield Consultants Ltd. (Hatfield) and supported by Strata360 and the FAO. The goal of the Nile RAK project is to promote sustainable management and use of the environment and resources within the Nile Basin.
* Sustainable independent training and awareness tool called the Nile RAK CD, to raise capacity and awareness regarding the environment and resources of the Nile Basin;
* Earth Observation (EO) based map products and applications to provide a regional perspective to environmental and water management and monitoring; and
* Communication and awareness raising tools to disseminate the outputs of the RAK project to national and local level stakeholders.
The Nile RAK project was awarded under the Canadian Space Agency’s Earth Observation and Application Development Program (EOADP) as part of the Tiger Initiative. The Tiger Initiative was launched by the Committee of Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) following the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), and is designed to promote the use of EO for water resource management in Africa.
