The solution to the Problem would be through the support services for GIS and Knowledge Management to be developed by the project from GVEP GAPfund to overcome the resource constraint of AEDA / MNES program and increase the awareness of the ICT tools that can effectively address the problem with a long term perspective.
The above problem is also addressed the capacity building efforts and knowledge management tools for RVEPs and GVEP Partners' by the collaborative team of SSAEL and JANASTU. SSAEL and JANASTU's experience covers Renewable Energy, Energy Services, Environment, Anthropology, Biology and Forest Management, Communication Design, Training, e-learning, GIS mapping, web based Knowledge Management tools, open source technologies.
