Training Centre

SEKALA provides training and internships on Geographic Information Systems, satellite image processing and remote sensing to various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Forestry, provincial governments and NGOs.

Some of these training workshops are linked to FOMAS and aim to initiate discussion among civil society and local forestry offices about data availability, information sharing mechanisms, standards, metadata and analysis.

These training workshops also seek to increase awareness about the need for transparency and to mobilize a constituency committed to sharing forest data and information.  Other training workshops are more technical in nautre and aim to increase capacity to improve data and to do GIS analysis.

SEKALA provides training on:

• Geographic Information Systems;
• Satellite Image Processing;
• Community mapping processes;
• High Conservation Value Forests;
• Report and proposal writing;
• Programme management.

Training workshops have been funded by the Swiss government and WWF Indonesia.
