[UN SPIDER] Regional Africa Workshop, 25-28 May 2010, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

[Michael LEITGAB]

   Dear Colleagues,
   UN-SPIDER cordially invites you to join the UN-SPIDER Regional Workshop
   âBuilding upon Regional Space-based Solutions for Disaster Management
   and Emergency Response for Africaâ to take place from 25 to 28 May 2010
   in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
   This workshop, which is being organised together with the United
   Nations Economic Commission for Africa and supported by the Government
   of Austria, will be the major outreach event organised by UN-SPIDER on
   space-based information for disaster risk reduction and emergency
   management for the African continent in 2010.
   Certainly, this regional workshop will ensure that participants become
   aware of the full potential that space-based information offers for
   disaster risk management and emergency response and how to take
   advantage of the existing regional and international opportunities in
   this regard. This will eventually contribute to a reduction in loss of
   lives and property due to disasters in the African continent in the
   future.
   We invite you to submit your application through our online application
   form at [1]www.un-spider.org/workshop-addis-2010
   For your information, please find attached to this email the
   information note for the workshop containing detailed information about
   the programme, logistics and limited available funding support.
   Looking forward to welcoming you in Addis Ababa in May!
   With best regards,
   Michael Leitgab
