In natural resource management, resource managers and users can gain profound insights and leverage intelligence through data and analytics from various technological applications within a basin. Yet, resources like water, forests, energy, land, and ecosystem services are often managed in isolated "silos." This fragmentation leads to missed opportunities, redundancy, and duplicated efforts, as stakeholders may not be aware of similar systems in other parts of the same sub-catchment. Such inefficiencies hinder the complementarity of interventions and limit the potential for collaborative optimization.

​

FIDEP Foundation is committed to exploring existing data-sharing frameworks, protocols, tools, and techniques used in current and upcoming initiatives across water, forests, energy, land, and ecosystem services. We seek to collaborate with researchers and organizations eager to push the boundaries of innovation, generate and share evidence, and empower decision-makers to utilize this knowledge effectively in reducing poverty and enhancing sustainability
