Related assumptions and risks
Detailed information about the current status in Iran and Yemen as well as the needs required for the design of courses and the design of the environmental management Geoportal (emGeo).
Risks:
- Information collection and needs analysis may be slow because of bureaucratic challenges, e.g., waiting for permissions. These may be solved by providing better communications and high level of commitment and cooperation with national authorities. We have also considered enough time to be able to do the tasks with good quality.
