Objective: The Common Development Fund (CDF) engaged UPCE Consult Ltd to build the technical capacity of its staff in GPS and GIS-based data collection technologies. Scope & Methodology: Our team delivered hands-on training to ten CDF staff members on the operation and utilization of GPS Juno handheld devices integrated with GIS technologies, with a strong focus on the TerraSync software as the primary application tool for field data collection and mapping. The training curriculum was designed to empower staff with the practical knowledge and skills needed to effectively use GPS and GIS technologies, including ArcGIS and QGIS applications, for improved data collection, spatial analysis, and mapping in their day-to-day work. Key Deliverables: A structured training program covering GPS Juno/TerraSync operation and ArcGIS/QGIS application skills, delivered to ten CDF staff members over two months. Impact: The training measurably strengthened CDF's in-house geospatial data collection and mapping capacity, contributing to improved operational efficiency and data management within the institution long after the assignment's completion.
