Caribou Space is currently supporting the European Space Agency as the Monitoring and Evaluation lead for the
Global Development Assistance (GDA) programme. GDA is a global partnership between ESA and International Financial Institutions (IFIs) to mainstream the use of Earth Observation into development operations. IFIs offer financing and advisory services to government partners all over the world to support their sustainable development. Under the GDA programme, EO products are designed to meet the needs of these government partners in a number of thematic areas, and are complemented by associated IFI-financed efforts to build capacity and ensure operational uptake.
The objective of this survey is to understand the current level of commercial activity that is ongoing in the developing countries where these IFIs are active.
The survey focuses on gathering information about your experiences working with International Financial Institutions, including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, International Fund for Agricultural Development and the Inter-American Development Bank. Responses to this survey will be complemented by analyses of IFI procurement databases and project records to form a 'baseline' understanding of European industry's activities in developing countries. This understanding is crucial to advance the field and further grow market opportunities in a more targeted manner.
We estimate that this survey will take around 5-7 minutes to complete, but this will depend on your specific experiences and the amount of relevant business activity that you have conducted in the regions of interest.
All responses from EO services companies will be analysed only at an aggregate level by members of the Caribou Space team and on behalf of the European Space Agency.
