With the support of
Earth Observation for Sustainable Development (EO4SD) is a European Space Agency initiative that aims to support international finance institutions and their client states to harness the benefits of Earth Observation (EO) in their development operations at national and international levels. ESA EO4SD has an overall objective to start the integration of satellite information products and services, as “best-practice” environmental information, in the planning and implementation of the development projects, programs, and activities of the international finance institutes, together with their respective client states.
This Rapid Assessment provides an evaluation of the progress, results, and lessons from the current EO4SD program focused on the Urban Development, Agriculture & Rural Development, and Water Resources Management projects. The evaluation is aligned to the OECD DAC Criteria for Evaluating Development Assistance and assesses EO4SD’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency impact, and sustainability.
