EnglishThe Digital Soil Mapping (DSM) approach was used to generate maps of the soil texture (sand, silt, and clay) in Colombia, based on the soil geomorphology. The soil units were differentiated by land shapes using a STRM 90-m DEM, and stratified by geopedological units from the Agustín Codazz...

This paper extends the methodology of Elbers, C., Lanjouw, J. O., & Lanjouw, P. (2003). Micro level estimation of poverty and inequality. Econometrica 71(1), 355-364 and presents a low cost approach to arriving at small area welfare estimates for non-census years. The approach requires panel data...
This report provides a new approach to integrating spatial data on poverty and ecosystems in Kenya. It is endorsed by five permanent secretaries in Kenya and with a foreword by Wangari Maathai (recipient of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize). It provides a new approach to examining the links between eco...
This paper is a case study of a network that combined participatory approaches to propose best suited knowledge management (KM) interventions for its member countries. A five-step exercise used existing elements of the alliance’s strategy, a KM survey and a face-to-face participatory validation o...
