The IABIN (www.iabin.net)
Executive Committee (IEC) and Coordinating Institution (CI) Meeting was
held in Costa Rica February 16-18, 2010. Representatives from the
Coordinating Institutions as well as the Value Added Tools grants
recipients reviewed the status of the tools, data content grants, (http://www.oas.org/dsd/IABIN/Component2.htm),
and value added products funded under the IABIN Project. The meeting was
organized by the Department of Sustainable Development (DSD) of the
Organization of American States (OAS) as Executing Agency of the
Project.
This
meeting provided all participants to examine the progress, challenges,
lessons learned and current status of the network after six years of
project implementation. Participants reviewed completed activities,
including Component 1: Interoperability and Access to Data, Component 2:
Data Content Creation, and Component 3: Tools for Decision Making.
Likewise, IEC members and CIs strategized how to best utilize and plan
future development of the tools and products of the project, undergo
brief training in the use of Component 3 tools, and continue the ongoing
discussion on IABIN’s sustainability and future.
Specific Goals for
the meeting were:
-
IEC, CI members
trained on Component 3 tools, able to promote them as needed in
their countries, international
meetings, etc.
-
IEC feedback on
final development of IABIN
-
CI coordination
on fundraising
-
Ensuring linkages
with global, national level sister initiatives
