GDA-Fast EO Co-Financing Facility (GDA FFF)

Funding: European Space Agency (ESA)

The GDA FFF aims to implement a rapid-response mechanism for testing and aligned integration of satellite Earth Observation (EO) services in international development projects and programmes of International Financing Institutions (IFIs) and National Development Agencies (NDAs). The facility will be set up to directly connect with activities implemented using aligned development finance resources. It will rely on a technically pre-qualified team of EO service providers and satellite remote sensing experts in GDA participating states, ensuring flexibility and agility to meet potentially short delivery timescales required by the development partners and consequently guarantee optimal operational applicability. Close cooperation with IFI/NDA partners and associated programmatic setups will facilitate channelling internal demand and prioritisation of efforts. The UFZ role consists of supporting EO products and services with Non-EO information and analytics such as modelling and data-driven analysis in use cases to extend the benefits of monitoring solutions towards a solid foundation for science-based management.
